Why are you unable to understand that this is not a question of what's written in my passport?
It is astonishing that you can make the statement of yourself that you are culturally Indian -- so you apparently understand the concept of cultural identity -- but then turn-around and fail to grasp that, when other people say they are Indian-American, they are not making a statement about a field in their passport.
There are no facts in contention here, because you are making a straw man argument -- attacking my argument as though I were making statements about my nationality. I believe you are being intentionally obtuse by disregarding the fact that it is a statement about cultural identity, which apparently you are fully capable of understanding.
