Well, tell that to the native Americans :)

Not sure Native Americans would agree with that.

"just like the Americans would like it if the natives stopped existing" really? why?

I bet native Americans of couple centuries ago agree with you.

The native tribes in the US would beg to differ.

Go ask the Native Americans what they think about all those immigrants.

nwmcsween • Jan 3, 2020 • View on HN

Native Americans would probably disagree
