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.
