I just found that option really strange, but maybe I'm missing something. Central America as well as the Gulf islands (Jamaica, Bermuda, etc.). | ||

In the US the two sort of "politically correct" terms are Native American and American Indian, I've never actually heard Aboriginal used to refer to natives anywhere but Australia, I thought it was a term specific to the natives in Australia, huh. | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong about this, but if it's true, why are there five (and counting) votes for not having an account? I actually tested this beforehand and yes, you can vote in polls in threads without an account. | ||

"Native" is a pretty neutral term in Canada, but "Indian" has a lot of baggage with it. Mostly the Indian Act (which doesn't apply to Metis, I still pay taxes ;_;) | ||

North America and Latin America, they are two different ways to split the Americas, by geography, with South, Central and North, or by colonization, with Latin and "Anglo-Saxon?" Americas, so Mexico stays with the big boys in one way and is left behind in the other, or at least that's what I remeber from school. | ||
