Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Quick Smiley Problem
I really don't like that the new smiley is called the Indian smiley. I am part Native American. Native Americans are from America, Indians are from India.

Re: Quick Smiley Problem
I agree with you. It's wrong to call Native Americans Indians.

Re: Quick Smiley Problem
You should have seen before, a guy thought Native Americans were black people, with that I mean Afro-American. But he probably uses Indians, since it's the most common word that most Scandinavians use when talking about the Natives.

Re: Quick Smiley Problem
I remember that, that was DylanDaSkater.
I really hope it gets changed. I posted a comment about it on the blog a while ago, let's see if it gets noticed.

Re: Quick Smiley Problem
Yeah we will see, he might have chosen it because the word Indian is quite shorter than Native-American.

Re: Quick Smiley Problem
It can always be shortened to NA or Native.

Re: Quick Smiley Problem
Never admitting that he had reached a continent previously unknown to Europeans, rather than the East Indies he had set out for, Columbus called the inhabitants of the lands he visited indios (Spanish for "Indians").
I know you probaly know this, but I think they called it that cause they were first called that.
But I still agree, It should be changed to Native American

Re: Quick Smiley Problem
I know that. An entire race of people, incorrectly renamed because of one man's stupidity.

Well, the latter two make sense. Black and white are descriptive. Indian is a whole 'nother race of people. There's no 'other' black or 'other' white. There's an Indian, and there's a Native American. How do you think India-Indians feel about that? Probably pretty **** off, as are we. I can understand not caring, but I can understand caring a lot more. (Also fixed your post for spelling/grammar)

Everyone.
1. More than enough time.
2. No one seems to care.

Re: Quick Smiley Problem
I'm part Native American too, though I'm not that bothered by it(IDK if I should be), I think its trying to go along with the fact that Thanksgiving "started" around the time Native Americans were called Indians, and I doubt "Native Americans" would fit on a profile.

Also you should delete your extra post, just so you notice before a mod sees it.

Re: Quick Smiley Problem
They would just delete it or tell me to delete it, anyway. They can't warn me for a lag DP.
