The real story is that Iceland was pretty popular, and someone owned Greenland, but they didn’t get many people there because of all the ice. So they called it Greenland to get more people. It was all a hoax >:0
Greenland, was not “discovered” (by Norsemen, that is) until a century or so later, when a Norwegian who was sailing to Iceland was blown off course. It was later named “green land” by Erik the Red, another Norwegian, who really was fleeing from Norway and first went to Iceland before settling in Greenland. Not sure what him being white has to do with anything...
WHITE PEOPLE!
