Let's not be so hard on Columbus folks

Imagine wanting to travel to India,

Landing up at the wrong place on the other side of the planet,

And then meeting people who are facially almost identical to the original Indians you were hoping to meet.

If you wanted proof that God has a sense of humour, this is it.

God really played a long joke on old man Columbus - we shouldn't be so harsh on him. Had I been in his place I'd have been sure these were "those" Indians too.

Especially considering that there's an entire swathe of oriental-type faces separating India and the Americas, it's seriously uncanny how two completely separate lands ended up with similar looking people who apart from looks don't have anything else in common like myths or customs or foods.
