Why do people constantly talk about "native Americans" as if they were some unified group? Many were constantly at war with each other. Killing, raping, stealing..
You're totally right. They should have followed the European example of... what, exactly?
People group Asians together, and Europeans together, all the time. Don't be dense.

White people weren't "evil", but to think Native Americans should be "grateful" for wiping out 93% of their population is an extreme form of arrogance.
In fairness, europeans were the first people in North America but the asian indians wiped them out 100%.

America was first discovered by Stone Age hunters from Europe, according to new archaeological evidence.
Across six locations on the U.S. east coast, several dozen stone tools have been found.
After close analysis it was discovered that they were between 19,000 and 26,000 years old and were a European-style of tool.
The discovery suggests that the owners of the tools arrived 10,000 years before the ancestors of the American Indians set foot in the New World, reported The Independent.
Finding the tools is being heralded as one of the most important archaeological breakthroughs for several decades.
Archaeologists are hopeful that they will add another dimension to understanding the spread of humans across the world.
Three of the sites were discovered by archaeologist Dr Darrin Lowery of the University of Delaware, while another one is in Pennsylvania and a fifth site is in Virginia.
Fishermen discovered a sixth on a seabed 60 miles from the Virginian coast, which in prehistoric times would have been dry land.

If we'd known then, what we know now, we'd have picked our own cotton.

Big picture, you could take a look to it.

It would still be a shite hole. When white people came to America there were major Universities in England and amazing architecture. The people living here were in fricking tepees. White people created the civilized world and through their own civility over time allowed other to come along. People of all colors should be glad that white people are not actually the evil bastards we have been made up to be or the entire fricking planet would be nothing but white people. Its just that simple.
Meh, massive thriving societies existed in the Middle East and East Asia while Europeans were still rolling around in the dirt.
Europe's rise to prominence was the result of circumstance, not the inherent superiority of "White people"

Most of those societies were white in their origins.

Less crime, less jailed, fewer social problems, less drain on welfare rolls.
Keep in mind that Africans captured and sold their own into slavery. The real civil war would have occurred in Africa between the enslaved and the free. Who knows what would have been the outcome of that. Between the Middle East and that, Africa would have been a major hell hole.

Study ancient history and you will understand. (maybe).

Unfortunately no Creole inspired restaurants.
Now there's the real question... what would you be willing to give up in order to have an incredibly homogeneous society???
Fried chicken? Creole food? Sports would certainly change... music too.
Movies could be just about the same lets be honest here.
So, not to hijack a thread, but the ultimate question is how far would you be willing to go? What would you be willing to give up?

This has been an interesting thread ... a slippery slope full of conjecture and hypotheticals but, still, very interesting.

I have, trust me. Europe benefited from animals that could be domesticated, that Native Americans did not.
Their society owes WAY more to that than anything inherent in the "race".

crime rates would be significantly lower. Education levels would be significantly higher. Median income levels would be much higher.
Yea tell that to England

This guy is saying we would just not grow crops because there's no black slaves? As if poor whites wouldn't work the land. We'd basically have a feudal system like Russia did around that time. Not much would change.
Yup and Russia is now a massive welfare state.
We would still have lots of people living off the gov't.
