I don't know but Europeans need to expand their territory because they have no space to grow in a healthy way. They should remove their Arab and Black immigrants too, so should America.

It's racist for us to immigrate to their countries, but not racist when they immigrate to our countries?

Do you realize the native Americans on the west coast were predominantly peaceful people, who did not understand they were trading their lush natural resources for smallpox infested blankets?

My tribe is from upstate New York. In the early 1900s we signed a treaty leasing undeveloped land to the us government at a cost of $1 per year, for 100 years.
During those 100 years predominantly white colonists settled the land, and developed it. They used the resources raped from mother earth in areas where native Americans were not allowed to work and profit.
Native American spiritual practices were forbidden, even on reservation land, until the 60s.
Because they were conquered and segregated to reservations, and were fed scraps of American industry, they had no access to education or work. And their spirituality was forbidden.

I'm calling you out as a racist for not recognizing the plight of native Americans in your country.

That post was a joke and had nothing to do with Native Americans. I was joking about mass immigration to Europe from Africa and the Middle East.

I fully recognize that the European colonists did a number of shady things to the aboriginal population, I don't think anyone is denying that. Neither side was innocent, but that was two-hundred years ago. Rather than bickering over past transgressions, shouldn't we learn from our mistakes so that we may better combat challenges and situations together in the future?

I'm not referring to events from 200 years ago but events from the 50s and the 90s. That's your mistake. My mistake is believing you don't have the heart to recognize the reality of the native Americans holocaust.

I apologize for criticizing you for what is essentially a modern ignorance.
