Come to think of it, WTF
Reading this webcomic, xkcd. Very intelligent. But seriously, how did this happen? If you live at the center of the world (Columbus, Ohio), Tupac is West and Biggie is East. And yet, continue past LA – to the West – and you reach… the Far East. At some point were West and East reversed? Where does it all start from. Damn. For example, after Europe (the Western World), the view suddenly lurches to the Middle East. This, along with Native Americans being called Indians, in one of many interesting quirks of geography. Which, I suspect, is more of a political construct than anything else. They call it a political map anyways. Good webcomic. Thinkable
Dude, my favourite webcomic. I even bought the t-shirt. That’s probably tragic.
American Indians actually prefer to be referred to as “American Indians”, rather than as “Native Americans”.
