I have "white skin", not red, brown, yellow or black. I read, write and speak only English but I learned French in school many years ago.
My ancestors came from Europe.
When North America was discovered, the "invaders" thought it was India so they called the aboriginal people "Indians".
Actually, I think the first aboriginal indians walked from Japan over part of Siberia, then over the Alaska Pan-handle to North America. Some continued walking or paddling boats to South America. There were probably a lot more bears than people.
There are still about one million aboriginal indians in Canada.
