    Myself, when I am in Japan every 2 years, I eat only japanese food, because there is so much wonderful japanese food (which I can mostly not get where I live in Switzerland), and I dont want to eat hot dogs, burgers, pasta, pizza or other things like that. But I totally appreciate that japanese people or gaijin persons like to enjoy "non japanese" food sometimes.

      Sorry for your confusion. But people in Japan tend to use the terms "Indian(インディアン)" and "Indo-jin(インド人)" separately to mean each as Native American and Indian people. Nowadays, it's supposed to be inappropriate to use "Indian" to refer to Native Americans, though not many Japanese have contact with Native Americans or Indians, so the old custom doesn't change swiftly.
