re: I'm proud and happy that this land, America, was conquered by European explorers

Well for what it’s worth the majority of native Americans wiped out died from diseases and infections the Europeans brought over.

My god, parroting talking points. This has happened around the globe throughout history when peoples of one area moved to other areas. Over time trade spread the same situation between Europe, Africa, and Asia for thousands of years.

The Indians spread disease to the Europeans too, but their immune systems had been strengthened over thousands of years. The northern tribes were less effected, the Caribbean tribes and South America had had very little if any interaction with European before.

The left loves this claims but ignores the reality. Who did the US fight all the Indian wars with? How many tribes fought on both sides in the civil war? How many fought for the British in the revolutionary war. How many owned slaves.
18% of the Latinos is the US have native ancestry.

The indigenous population of Latin America consists of approximately 50 million people, who belong to 500 different ethnic groups.
There are over 1 million indigenous on average in every South American Country.

Over 10 million in the US and Canada(this does not include people like my wife who are 1/32)
