Indian Style

Apparently it's not cool to sit Indian Style anymore.  In schools they sit "criss-cross applesauce."  Which is fine.  I have said before that I wish they had a way to sit Italian style.  I'd sit that way all the time.  I don't see why anyone would be offended by naming a way to sit.  Unless it was all slouchy slob skank style.  But that wouldn't necessarily offend anyone but the person that was sitting that way.  It got me thinking about sitting Indian style.  Do you think Indians even liked sitting that way? It's not like it's a comfortable way to sit for any period of time.  Or do you think they were like "yo, Squannno...roll that log over here... I wanna get my lean back lounge on."
