The problem is, your argument is equally silly. Those "beautiful tribal cultures" did not spontaneously emerge; they immigrated to the Americas from Asia. So, at what point did they become "native"? Why are they native while the European-emmigrated peoples who have lived in the Americas for 3+ generations not native?
- hellofunk 11y agoI don't think you can compare the prompt disruption of American indian tribes by the arrival of Europeans over a very short time, to the thousands of years in which the "Asian immigrants" (as you suggest) became the Native Americans.
- jdmichal 11y agoOf course I can't, but that's irrelevant because I also didn't. I simply pointed out that the use of the word "native" against Americans which simply happen to have a more recent immigration background is pretty arbitrary and arguably unfair.
