It's true. Indians HATE being called "Native Americans." They prefer to be called Indians.

Well I worked today and really don’t give a rat’s ass about Columbus, anymore than I care about Pizarro, or Magellan, or any of the rest. Wild adventures. Great accomplishments for their day. But I don’t really get the celebration thing, either. It doesn’t bother me. It’s barely a blip on my radar.

So it never occurs to these folks that the reason Columbus is still considered one of the most important people, ever, is because his coming to America was the beginning of the European colonization of this country and all that followed?

They can hold on to their beloved hatred for all the evil that followed if they like (though of course, their BEING here is part of that same evil, but never mind), and still acknowledge that very real contribution to civilization. Yet they don’t.

Oh man! These DUmmies truly are dumb!

Of course we know that anyway, but every now and then it strikes me anew. Great DUFU thread, as usual.

The Italian lobby in the US has consistently opposed formal recognition of any pre-Columbian contact between Europe and America.

You got a problem with that?

Columbus, Cortez, Pizarro, the whole gang, are fascinating. Must have been a really interesting time in history, what with the new land turning up and the hope of wealth to be had and land to be conquered. Even a bleeding-heart liberal has got to acknowledge what great adventures those were.

It must be a miserable life when you not only hate yourself for being born white but you also live in a DUmpster.

The term 'Indians' for native peoples is somewhat offensive at the least

Never mind that "Indian" was derived from the phrase "Pueblo en Dios" ("en Dios" became contracted and altered to "Indios") and has nothing to do with India...

Where did the Indians come from? Just outside of Muncie or over the Bering Sea land bridge from Asia? Too much ‘we wuz here before you’, imo.

"In any case, I am very fortunate to live in a part of the country where we recognize tomorrow as Indigenous Peoples Day, and that is what my son will grow up with."

Guess what, DUmmie, its Columbus day whether you like it or not. That said, I wouldn't object to an 'american indian day', specially if it means another day off.

It's best to ask them what they personally prefer. Most I know personally prefer Indian.

[BINGO!...]

It’s best to not think about their ranting to much.
