I think many here know I have a friend from a deeply red state in the middle of America. An even outside this issue, the reality is all of our species started out in Africa.
I've known for a long time that he, (my best friend) is part Native American. He has a government issued card stating his genes. Ok, but here is what I don't get. While I am happy that this card gets him better healthcare, it is still stuck in old language in the fact it does not say, "Native American" but still uses the word "Indian".
Once you accept the fact that the only reason "Indian" was ever used was because Columbus was a dumfuck an thought he landed in India.
One can accept the lack of understanding back then, but it is fucking 2020, not 1492.
