But they sailed to that landmass, it just wasn't named America yet. They were there hundreds of years before Columbus and even settled it. If anything, I'd have thought an ignorant retard like you would like the idea of Vikings finding it first rather than some sweaty wop. And even when said wop eventually found it, it still wasn't immediately called America and that was my point. So Columbus didn't discover America, he found a load of Apache, etc, land, then later it was called the USA. Yet we'd still say he """"discovered"""" America (even though it wasn't called that and even though it was discovered about 400 years earlier by chad Vikings, and obvious even earlier by Native Americans). So yeah, that's how historical naming works, we retcon it in.
