The discovery of the Americas has for centuries been credited to the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus...Huh? Seriously?
The Vikings were here long before Columbus, and even they met people here.
Let's not get so Sino-centric they establish a claim to taking the Continent (back?).

Maybe we should give it back to the Vikings. Let Sharpton make his reparations case to them. :)

And Asian people were here thousands of years before the Vikes. They crossed the Bering Strait.
That is why an Eskimo in the north looks a lot like a Chilean to the south.
