This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Are there actually Amish people in India?

I can't tell if this is real or not.

Many people refer to the people who were living in North America before Europeans as “Indians” and there’s even a good portion of those people that use it to self identify as well, even if “Native American” is more widely used, if not also somewhat an inaccurate if you’re getting technical.

Absolutely fair enough, I'm just a somewhat ignorant Welsh man!

They have only ever been described here as American/Native American.

Though now that you mention this, Cowboys & Indians suddenly makes a lot more sense to me.

Christopher Columbus, who discovered Americas, thought he was heading to India.
