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.

American Indians, the term hasn't died out in the New World quite yet.

In Russian language the difference between American and actual Indians is one letter in spelling (easily heard in pronunciation, so only small children maybe mix them up), historically it's a variation of the same word.

For "turkey" the bird the feminine version of the former is used (and not used to refer to an American Indian woman).

The point is, it's the main word to refer to Native Americans. "Настоящему индейцу завсегда везде ништяк" and all that.
