I refuse to ever feel "guilty" over Columbus Day simply because I see no merit in the arguments of the people pushing this "Indigenous Peoples" crap. The people who claim themselves to be "indigenous" are themselves descended from Asian settlers who also migrated to this part of the world. They are no more "indigenous" than the descendants of any other foreign settlers.

On a funnier note, it has been proven that Australian Aborigines actually settled in the Americas far earlier than the Asians from whom American Indians are descended. The latter killed the former and stole their land. Are the American Indians going to be made to cut reparations checks to the descendants of the Australian Aborigines?

Never heard that story before. Have heard of very early Europeans and Asians reaching North America, but never Australians. Got any links supporting your position?

Or, is this just a “funnier” pile of BS than you think anyone else can dream up? The scholarly study of human origins is more than just a contest to invent a “funnier version” (story) of how we got here.
