Also, Columbus Day aggravates me.
I feel like can't really have a solid opinion on "Indian" vs "American Indian" vs "Native/Indigenous/Aboriginal American" vs "Natives" vs "First Nation Peoples" (since I have no Indian or Native ancestry). but I try to educate myself:

Personally, I am slightly tired of having to clarify that I always mean people from the country of India when talking about Indians. It comes up a lot whenever I have conversations about Ayurveda and yoga.

I burned my left index finger somehow, probably a few days ago. It keeps itching like mad. I've been applying a mangosteen ointment, which has been awesome.

I run into the same exact problem re: Indians -- FROM INDIA, PEOPLE.

And you know what really makes me twitch? The fact that people have to even say, "Dot, not feather."

What is and what is wrong with Columbus Day?

Look at the West and East India trading companies, West for the West Indies and East for India.

I'm sure referring to Native American (Canadian) Indians would cover most bases.

Columbus Day celebrates Christopher Columbus because he "discovered America" when he was actually looking for India - which is not actually true. Go look it up for clarification.

The reason why Columbus Day aggravates me is that Americans are celebrating a man who was a fraud.
