BUT, to your point, our dealings with native Americans in the 1800s was a shite show, and was a very sticky situation. Did we handle it badly? Yes. Did many of the the tribes across the nation make it extremely difficult to deal with the "right way?" Yes.


The way we dealt with Japanese-Americans was also shite show. A lot of those were tax paying American citizens, who were forcibly taken out of their homes and forced to live in camps.

Agreed, it definitely wasn't pretty, but it is still not comparable to Indian-American relations.
