So if I am mixed with spanish I am despising myself for what I did to myself? Do the greeks despise the Romans or Vice Versa for the acts they did upon each other? Like I have said of the "Jewish" thread, tell me what a Spaniard has done to you to make your life better or worse.
Before Amerigo, Columbus or the Vikings they have shown proof that Chinese sailed up the Bay and into the Sacramento River as early as 1000 a.d.. That could only open up more questions as Native Americans and Mexicans share some resemblence to certain Asains.
If the Chinese settled this land before the Miwok tribe could there be a link to them? Consider the Hieght of the Aztec or Mayan Civilization to be Centuries later. Who else could have settled prior to that? Prior to the Omec or Toltec? Before Pyramids and colonies?
Enserio, as for all the questions. It was just to make a point of one claiming a small amount of thier blood and excluding the rest. Not pointing fingers but making good conversation for once around here. If you are proud of who you are find pride in what you are.
From the days of Caan to Moses to Julius Ceasar all the actions of man have been the same, Cammand & Conquer. That is as true for the Spanish & french of old as it is for America and Israel now. Same thing everyone one has done.
As for "What should we call them if not Indians?" Try calling them what thier tribe calls them. We use "Indian" because we would rather say that then find out who they are. For example look at the word "Arab". In the 80's thats all we knew of the Mid-East. Now we know Kurd, Shiite, Saudi, Palistinian and so on. I know Plenty of Natives that HATE the word "Indian" from up here, in the Mid West all the way down to New Mexico. They just are tired of explaining it so they let it pass. But they dont except the word still.
PS I know this has been said before but.... Hitler Hated Jews, wasnt Jewish blood in him?
Love, Peace and Cougar Teeth!
