Since When Is The Term "Indian Giver" "Racist" ??

What? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

There are no - repeat NO - indigenous peoples in the new world. None. Not a one. Everyone here is an immigrant or from immigrant stock, including those so-called "native Americans"

Not arguing Path but what about the Mayans?  I thought they were here prior...

There's some debate over exactly when/where/how the first folks came to the Americas, but they all came from somewhere else.  I guess it comes down to where you draw the indigenous line.  They were all here long before the Europeans "discovered" the "New World," but they didn't originate here.  Does that make sense?

There's also debate that homo sapiens stemmed from the African continent as well and spread out all the world.  I'm a really white African descendant who buys his sunscreen by the 55 gallon drum!

I still want a casino....

Then we have the whole Garden of Eden thing (currently Iraq), the great flood and all that old Testament stuff to muddle of the whole works.
