Yeah that's taught in our history in school Lol....y'all should be thankful to us Indians or america might not have been discovered until the 20th century

 

Idk why do Americans call tortillas tortilas?

 

I don't know a single person who still calls Native Americans, Indians.

 

They do actually

 

I still do ?... I learned about the native american indians first and got really confused when I was learning about the Indians from India as a kid 

 

America would of still been found. It's not like Indians went out and found others and said come where we live. Granted they helped in some places of need once the settlers came.

 

Because we're uneducated and ignorant.

 

Truu

 

Because they're native to America, the first people on the land. That is why they're referred to as Native Americans.

 

1-6=fruit salad?¿

 

Because Christopher Columbus (really not the brightest guy, yet he still has a holiday) thought he landed in India.

Chris Columbus: "I claim this land for Spain!"
Native Americans: "Ummm  but we're already here."

 

In a snack wrap

 

Ugh, being from Texas. We at least call tortillas tortillas (the ll is an ee sound for those who don't know). But some people call jalapenos jalapenos (j is an h sound, but they still make the j sound). Or when we call the Rio Grande River the Rio Grand (you do pronounce the e like a soft e). Uggghhh. Hard to explain in typing too 

 

I want to know why those of us from the United States refer to ourselves as Americans, when Canada, Mexico, Central, and South Americans are also Americans. I usually say I'm from the US.

 

Because they don't claim us :'(

 

Why do Americans drive on parkways and park on driveways?
