I know this isn't really about reading...but hell i was bored and i notice this alot on here....alot of you call Native Americans Indians...which is a great disrespect if you ever where to encounter a Native and call them that....Indians are from India...the Natives Americans came from asia 1,500 years ago...crossing the Bering Strait...just thought i tell you all that..because believe it or not natives get offended by that term

I can understand where they are coming from. I myself asked the question why are Native Americans refered to as Indians. The two cultures are almost completely different from one another. I think it all began when Christiopher Columbus thought he had traveled the world and landed in India. Here is another interesting factoid, genetically Native Americans have more in common with the chinese than any other racial group.

i agree^...interesting thats you brought up the asian part...cause i know for a fact they belong to the Mongoloid race...which gathers alot of other questions too... i think that its fucked up that the english settlers took this land ..yeah i know you probably like "man that was a century ago" lol...but after learning alot from my grandmother n etc...it wasn't fair at all...cause Natives loved this land more than the majority of people who are on it today and thats sad...

ACTUALLY.. for a while i thought the same thing (that Native Americans get offended by the term 'Indian') but as it turns out.. NOT all of them do
in fact, in Rhode Island theres a particular tribe called the Narragansetts and they refer to themselves as Indians all the time and actually.. just recently with all the shit going on with election season, one of the main issues being debated in this state was a casino that they wanted (the Narragansett Indians) so it went on the ballots (question 1) and with all the billboards and promotions that they run.. they always called it an 'Indian Casino'
{shrugs} honestly.. i call them by both names.. they have never expressed being offended to me

when all else fails.. blame the WHITE MAN (they pretty much named all of us LoL)

im not exactly thrilled about being referred to as 'Hispanic' when the word actually means 'of/from Spain'.. even Latin(o) sometimes makes me wonder where it all came from.. but i cant front that i use the aforementioned terms to refer to myself and other Brown people a lot of the time

'When all else fails blame the white man" lmaoo...well i can pretty much agree with that...i mean i'm not racist at all...but as much as i hate to admit this The early English settlers wiped Native Americans completely out...its sad when you hardly see any natives on their own land rather than the reservations and whatnot...and they really did love America...thats the sadest part about the whole situation.i remeber watching the New World with colin farrel...their was this scene that really moved me... when the natives were in the ocean..bowing down..sort of like a blessing...i don't remeber all of the scene..i haven't seen that movie in a long ass minute

this really ain't the same thing but i just have to say to me it's also stupid when people call blacks in America
"African American" because most blacks in america have no concept of what life in africa is like and have never been there so why not just call them American's?? to be honest i think the term "african american" is just a nice politically correct way for rascists to call black folks niggers i mean isn't that the trend?? first black folks were called niggers in america by most white people then they were colored people then they were blacks and now it's african american people need to realize if your born in and raised in america your american not african american or asian-american or anyone of that other bullshit

yeah not all do but then it is still disrespectful

good point jugg...i never understood that myself...

^co-sign

its like i said.. blame the White man
how come they dont call themselves 'European-American'
