ChromaticAngel 01/06/18 10:08:51 PM #13:	You know those early European explorers? When they landed in America they thought they were in India so they called the people there Indians. Later the British tried to fix it by eliminating all the natives, which they failed. So they took over India and tried to turn them into British, and they failed at that too. Now we have to call the real Indians "East Indians" or "South Asians" to avoid getting them confused with the natives that are wrongfully accused of being Indians. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>ChromaticAngel posted [p:893563636] in If it wasn...
