By "native Americans" I did mean people of indigenous American descent, yes. And looking it up, it appears that I was wrong… :blush: Overall Indian population now is 2 million, compared to an estimated 5 to 15 million pre-Columbus. It's an increase from the 19th century, where it's thought to have been about 250,000.

There are more Native Americans in America now than there were at the time of the explorers.


Where did you hear that? And, I would say that CC (and almost all of the human race) was and is 90% evil (and stupid).

Well, I say that Columbus is a bum. He found the Caribbean, wasn't the first here, and then killed the natives!
We would have eventually found out that Europe existed.
