Europe is only one of many things that they didn’t discover. Other include writing (other than in the Yucatan peninsula), the wheel (except in a few places), and abstract mathematics.
How come they didn’t discover europe? How come they hadn’t invented the WHEEL? Why hadn’t they domesticated any animals? They were thousands of years behind the europeans in terms of technology or social advances.
@6 – MPH – Good point. You’d think that after 10,000 years, they’d at least be able to run bison ranches. Heck, even Ted Turner managed to pull that one off.
As I have asked elsewhere, Seattle is not celebrating Columbus Day, since ‘Columbus didn’t discover Seattle’, so do they plan on celebrating Independence Day on July 4th, since Seattle never declared independence from England?
So are they finally admitting they aren’t “native”? It’s about time…. oh wait:
in·dig·e·nous
adjective
originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native…
Ok, so their new word is just as wrong as their old word.
Why not Primitive People From Asia Day? It’s a bit more accurate.
How are all those indigenous people from the various 3rd world hellholes coming in with fresh new diseases working out?
Yeah, they deserve a holiday for sure….oh wait, once they get here, every day is a holiday.
I guess that and casinos just aren’t enough.
How Jay Silverheels found his wife day?
Having been born there, I’m glad Seattle finally recognizes my importance.
I suppose the next thing will be to outlaw pizza.
Those indigenous people were 6% of the world population with 26% of the land. Columbus only helped to redistribute it more fairly.

The other 364 days in Seattle are Disingenuous People Days.

They were too busy killing each other and destroying the environment.
The obvious question for me is “How do I get my birth certificate amended so I don’t have to admit I’m from Seattle?”
@12 – Just go to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C. There’s a fellow there who knows all about getting new birth certificates.
He can pick you up a Connecticut social security # too.
Had to quote you, Harvey — about time someone asked the tough questions!
