I see nothing wrong with those terms.  So-called "Indians" have nothing
to do with India, and "mailmen" can be men or women (altho mailperson
seems a little better to me).  Terms like African-American, tho, I don't
really like.  It's inaccurate - most "African-Americans" have never been
to Africa, and white people live in Africa as well, an white immigrant
from Africa would have to be called an African-American as well, yes?
