[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread cracks me up.

[b]Native Americans, who mostly call themselves Indians, aren't a monolithic group of people. Tribes fought tribes and drove tribes off lands and were just as warlike as any people anywhere in the world.[/b] So what tribe owned the land in the first place? Because they just replaced whoever was there before.

Nor am I sure why some people think borders are racist. I lived for decades outside the US in non white countries and people were certainty very protective of borders and strong cultural identities. [/quote]

Why do people say things like this? Who cares? How is this relevant to colonizers? It doesn't excuse it. [/quote]

The 13 colonies were decades ago, literally centuries ago and before the birth of this country.  Why are you talking about the colonists?[/quote]
Because there's been an effort to delegitimize countries like the US, Canada, and Australia as "settler" nations.

The long-term goal of people who call Americans "settlers" and "colonists" is ethnic cleansing and genocide of everyone who can't trace their roots to pre-European times.  [/quote]
