Indo-Canadian 

An incorrect term used by ignorant or divisive people to describe a Canadian citizen with Indian ethnicity. Sometimes used to subtly imply race. Sometimes used by fresh off the boat Canadians, who still have more loyalty to India, to show they think Canada is a joke. The correct terminology would be to describe citizenship as Canadian and ethnicity as Indian, separately.
Example 1:
News Reporter: "An Indo-Canadian man was charged today with stealing a box of Samosas..."

Ethnically Indian, Canadian News Viewer (to friend): "Why did they mention the "Indo", why not just say brown, or you know, not mention any racial indicators."

Example 2:
Dumb White Liberal Lunatic: "We need to celebrate multiculturalism. Look at Raj, he is an Indo-Canadian man and we are going to celebrate his unique culture."

Raj: "Actually, I am Canadian and have the exact same culture as most Canadians. Indo-Canada is not a real country. I am a Canadian citizen and my ethnicity is Punjabi, because when my great grandparents immigrated to Canada, after fighting for the British empire, India wasn't even a country yet. I have never been to India and have nothing to do with it. I don't even believe in multiculturalism. If you're trying to identify me as a minority, my race is Caucasoid Indo-Aryan and my pigmentation is brown. Saying Indo-Canadian makes as much sense as mixing my age and gender, I am not twent - many, I am twenty and a man."

Example 3:
Fresh Off the Boat Dipper (in Hindi): "India is motherland, number 1. You must never forget where you come from. I remember the cows and the fields... beautiful. You are Indian first."

Ethnically Indian, Canadian: India has done nothing for me, and I have never been a part of Indian society. If you love India so much why don't you stay there. Damn FOBS!!!"
