It's not PC, it's common sense.

But as was pointed out, political correctness is not inherently bad.

Columbus may have made a mistake but the term "Indian" is part of our culture.

I don't think this is a valid argument in favor of the continued use of the term "Indian."  Culture is often wrong, and there's no sense in refusing to correct it simply for the sake of tradition.
