My personal take on all this is basically in accordance with the Bering Strait theory. However, I still entertain the possibility that some remote group may have come from elsewhere, and hence the shared ancestry with remote groups in other areas of the world. Why is this entirely impossible? There certainly are scatterings of evidence that don't fit the idea of a simple, one-time Bering Straits migration. I am not an anthropologist either (though I do steal their ideas when it suits me) so my opinions here are of limited value. But things like Kennewick man, the linguistic diversity of pre-Columbian America, evidence of multiple migrations, the "Red Paint People," and the continued confusion over how long ago the first human inhabitants arrived, point to a far messier and more interesting past than what we usually get in the introductory textbooks. I wonder what our resident anthropologists think about this? |

ignore the trolo.
At first I thought "trolo" was a playful reference to troll, but when Indigenous_One mentioned it was pejorative in Spanish I looked it up. According to the Urban Dictionary trolo means: 1. trolo
Se la come doblada
2. trolo
English: Homosexual, ***got in Argentina's slang. It can be either a noun or adjective.
Espaņol: Puto, homosexual, afeminadohttp://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troloCosmic, I understand that you are a Spanish speaker. Can you clarify what you meant? Because it seems like you might be the troll here. |

Indigenous, I was referring to the op, who sounds exactly like Triple A of the old fora.
larry c, I meant the word we cannot say on these fora, not what it means for some Sp. speakers (I never heard that meaning growing up in the Southwest, by the way, and I would not say a hateful thing like that, so apologies to anyone who understood that word in sense that I did not know until now).

According to the fora rules, you are only supposed to post in English. I was banned from the fora for 10 days for protesting the "English only" rule. The only people I know who ever chatted in Spanish were you and I, so I guess the rule was made for nous. |

Well, I am sorry if anyone was offended by -o because my parents are not Argentine and I did not mean to throw out hatred about anyone loving anyone. So, for that I am truly sorry.
For Triple A's phishing scams, though, I am not sorry. The narratives he spins are not even plausible and have nothing to do with a "discussion" (much less a "civil" one) on diversity.
I think they let these mistaken posts stay and censor the ones that are not censor-worthy, Pry. (Like my post that you preserve on the other Forum, for example, which disappeared five minutes after I posted it, and there was nothing to it whatsoever.)

This is going to sound really bad for anyone who isn't Indian, but my family is Pawnee and we have a way to tell you what type of Indian we are talking about. If it is one of us, we say you are a "blanket Indian", if you are a rich Indian, we say you are a "Casino Indian", and if you are from India, we say you are an "India Indian" or even a "Slurpee Indian".
