Then the Indians...oops ‘Native American’s’ (although how they can be ‘native’ to America’ when it was not considered America when...but I digress.

Then the Native Americans can have no reservations!!!

I heard the new PC term for native/American/Indians is “First Nation”.

They are native Americans because their ancestors came across the Bering land bridge to what is now known as America prior to the extreme sea level rise which flooded the Bering land bridge due to the carbon released by Expeditions and Suburbans. I am NOT known as a native American because my ancestors came to what is now known as America by sea at a later date. Doesn’t that make perfect sense? If not you are probably a racist Republican.

With dinosaurs, the earliest name applied to a species becomes the official name--which is why "Apatosaurus" replaced the more familiar name "Brontosaurus."

The Norse sagas mention the natives who met Leif Eriksson and his companions (not in a friendly way), and call them Skraellings (apparently means "screamers"). Since Leif is earlier than Columbus, maybe that name should be used instead of "Indians." Cleveland Skraellings, anyone?
