But the 'political correctness cause' over rules what they think. Apparently.

This issue comes up every now and then, just like repairations. I don't take it too seriously. The left is all about symbolism over substance. This is a prime example.

Now I'm seeing were the 'new left' is on-boarding millennial Native Americans.

They call themselves 'indigenous'.

'Native American' is disingenuous because Amerigo Vespucci was a European. World conquest was motivated by hatred, not material gain.

So the statues have to go.

Guess that's another thread, sorry.

How far back does your ancestry have to go to be "indigenous"?

The whole question is moot. Were your parents born here? You're indigenous. I always find it fascinating that people who say race should not matter then turn around and say your race is not "indigenous".

My race doesn't matter. The first one to inject race into the conversation is the racist.

The last is a pretty lame debate gambit used by the Right, certainly you can do better.

Somebody tried to rename the Denver Nuggets.

Look at your keyboard, you can see how it might happen...
