Well Jay they are a **** of a lot more "Native" to America than your
family will ever be.


How so?


OK, I'm about done with the Poor Mistreated Noble Savage crap.

The Amerindians came to the continental United States some 11,000 years ago,
during the stone age. While Europe and Asia made great progress in the arts and
sciences and set out to explore the world, the Amerindians did...

NOTHING.

They were still in the stone age when we got here. Sitting on the richest two
continents on the planet, they didn't make 100 years of progress in 10,000
years. In the Continental US, there were never more than 2 million hunter
gatherers living in an almost constant state of warfare and starvation. They
had their chance and did nothing worthwhile with it. If we had never come here,
they'd still be bashing each other witth stone axes instead of running casinos.

Our people came here and in 400 years built a nation that feeds the world and
touched the moon. We earned this place. It is ours. They fell by the wayside
because their culture stifled progress and inovation. They were doomed the
moment people with ambition and a culture that rewarded progress set foot on
the continent.

Cultures are subject to natural selection just like species.
