Why did yuros independently name both dot and feather indians indians? Like injins don't call themselves indians, it comes from mexican where columbas called them in dios like under god and curry indians call themselves hindus, like even online a good giveaway if someone is indian is if they use the word hindu to refer to indians and that india comes from some greek or latin name for a river in the region
>it comes from mexican where columbas called them in diosThat's a bullshit, fake etymology. Native Americans were called Indians is because Christopher Columbus thought he was in India, and the term stuck
Imagine getting so worked up about the word "Indian" lmao.t. Amerindian
>>18009355I feel bad for injins and don't want them to be associated with indians
>>18008923Its exclusively borderline retarded americans that call both native americans and indians "indian"One likes to eat cow poop the other doesnt
>>18009760175,000 yuros die each year because you faggots are too gay and retarded to invent AC
Confusion online often arises when someone uses Hindu instead of Indian, it signals a mix-up between religion and nationality, which historically Europeans wouldn’t have made because they used geography rather than religion as the label.
>>18009760No one calls guys like Apaches or Sioux anything other than Indians in my country. Pajeets are called hindus.
>>18009857LOL
>>18009857AC was literally invented by a red Injun. My great great grandfather John Redsnake used to whip his Johnson around like a helicopter to shoo the flies away from the Midwestern prostitutes he would frequent when going in to town for fire water. This inspired the electric fan .
>>18010910crazy injins invented AC, but not the wheel
>>18011531Red man not needum wheel. Have horse. Only needum fire water and thunder stick.
>>18009355>>18009364This, I tell call my Navajo gf indian and she gets all offended, and then I try to explain that she should own it because it's a cool word and hindus are hindus and not "indian"
>>18008923>Why did yuros independently name both dot and feather indians indians?They did not. To Europeans, India is everything in Asia that's not part of the nomadic steppe (Tartaria) and the Chinese Empire (China). Japan is an Indian island just like Phillipines or the topically named "Indianislandia/Indonesia".The Hindu=India is a Pajeet we-wuz and their doing. British India didn't specify any India or Indians, they ruled everything from Somaliland to Malaysia as "India" with "Indians" in it. Perfectly in line with the above definition.Columbus came across brown Asians with squinty eyes, yellow-brown skin, etc. It's not exactly hard to see why he accepted these folks for Indians no different from Japs, Pinoys, Viets, Burmese and whatever the fuck have you lives in SEA, i.e. India.TL;DR: Indian we-wuzzing of an ancient name. Has mostly fuck all to do with whites.
>>18012075makes sense that indians would just be lazy and steal the name>>18011860>calling them hindus
