Which means there are no “Native Americans”.

Just and argument over who got here first.

I’m a native American. I was born in Cincinnati...

Of course. Depends on your belief set. Some believe we are all out of Africa, or Asia, or Eden, etc.

That's why the term American Indian (with no apologies whatsoever to Russell Peters, because we don't share the title. either) is the better term. It eliminates all of that Native American jazz.


When the Norses (rhymes with horses), the Brits (rhymes with grits), and WHICHEVER Columbus, Middle Easterners and others landed here, they found people. American Indian Indian people have the very same blue Mongoloid spot on our spines that Asian people do. And look at the Ainu of Japan and compare them to the American Indian tribal people of the Northwest--much of the ceremonial accoutrement of the Ainu lookas if they could have been made around Seattle.

No, the only ole boys protesting too much are the white boys who have to keep coming up with grant money to try desperately to establish themselves first on this continent. It is to laugh. (And poor ole Russell Peters . . . )

[Cronos]

the thing is what to call “native Americans” then. They’re not Indians.

[Fightin Whitey]

Really just an argument over who got here biggest and strongest.

And who stays longest.
