I don’t get how people get it wrong so often I learned that when I was in elementary school and I was like “oh shit I’ve been doing that this whole time” and just switched it up

I'm Puerto rican and I get the biggest ick when people refer to our indigenous peoples as Indios Taínos. Colonization got us so good our own people be saying it 🫩 Mind you, they didn't even call themselves Taínos. It should be Borikuas Indigenas.

I have family in Ecuador and apparently it’s very common there to still call indigenous populations “Indians” as they don’t take offense like here in the states. It’s weird.

Bc indigenous people of the Americas aren’t Indian? they were only called that because some fuckass Europeans didn’t know the difference between America and Asia 🫩
