And you are grasping at nothing except your own ignorance. If a redneck wants to call themselves a redneck: that does not mean they are educated. Scientific anthropologists would be FIRED ON THE SPOT if they EVER called a North American native an 'indian'. They only use this term after they EXPLAIN where this inaccurate term came from. Colombus was tryoing to find a shortcut to the orient, He thought anyone he met would be from that region. Therfore he called the people he met: 'indians' because he thought that INDIA was just around the corner. Itwas also a good form of propaganda. The Queen of Spain hearing he met INDIANS! from INDIA! '
Oh! well... in THAT case! I will fund your second venture! So you almost got to India eh? tell me more!'
Why don't you read a book for once in your life? Parading your ignorance as knowlege is making you look very, very you-know-what.
Some African Amerians call themselves and other african americans 'niggers'. Would YOU call them that to their face? Just because some of them are uneducated?
Every fact I have stated here is Scientifically correct.
Until one of you opens a book and does some learning: all of you will continue to cover your faces with mud if you try arguing against scientific facts.
