because they're only 1% of the population?

Chicken pox

Too busy drinking themselves to death whilst slowly being erased from existence following their genocide.

>genocide

95% of them dying out from diseases and about 40,000 of them dying in wars over the 150 years following the founding of the US hardly counts as genocide. You might as well call the Spanish flu pandemic genocide if that's the standard we're using.

>image.jpg

real legit 100% Native Americans are too poor, uneducated and disenfranchised to ever leave the rez

Drinking mouth wash

Maybe if you didn't rob them of their identity and leave them no outlet but substance abuse they wouldn't

>image.jpg

They all died out from the measles. Or are bred out. For example, Jessica biel is part native american.

not to mention most of them are ugly as fug

reservations are like the worst aspects of the inner city ghettos+trailer trash hellholes.

I thought Smoke Signals made this clear

That's their fault for not keeping up with the times

just like a white guy with a superiority complex to rape, poison and subjugate people then wonder why they arent thriving.

shits fair now its not like you didnt break their spirits and embarrass them for all of history.

>95% dying from diseases and about 40,000 of them dying in wars

What about the forced relocations? The numerous Trails of Tears?

We need more like her

>its your fault I destroyed your culture

>image.jpg

The forced relocations were awful, but they contributed to a miniscule number of deaths relative to the total. And it's still up for debate whether or not that counts as genocide. It's horrible to force people from their homes and make them undertake an awful journey to a shitty new home, but that's not genocide.

>dying in wars

Doesn't war require too fairly evenly matched opponents meeting in the field of battle? And abiding by certain rules of conduct?
Raping and pillaging a vastly inferior foe, signing treaties with them, and violating the treaties a few years down the line when you want the territory is not a war

not the best Native pornstar

>the Cherokee removal, prompted by the discovery of gold on their territory, resulted in the deaths of 6,000 pf the approximately 16,000 people relocated
>miniscule
>it is up for debate if the forced relocation of an ethnic minority is genocide
Its called ethnic cleansing senpai

>Doesn't war require two fairly evenly matched opponents meeting in the field of battle?

They did meet in the field of battle. But where on earth did you get the idea that war requires evenly matched opponents?

>And abiding by certain rules of conduct?

Those rules weren't put in place until the Geneva Convention, well after the "Indian Wars" had ended.

>Raping and pillaging a vastly inferior foe, signing treaties with them, and violating the treaties a few years down the line when you want the territory is not a war

It's multiple wars. But the US never needed to sign a treaty to guarantee new territory. As far as the governments of the world were concerned, that territory already belonged to the US thanks to treaties it signed with the UK, Spain, France, and Mexico.

correct

according to international law it is

>miniscule

I said "miniscule relative to the total". The pre-Columbian population of North America has been estimated to be between 2 and 6 million. 6,000 is nothing compared to that.

>ethnic cleansing

Is not necessarily genocide. Some people use them as synonyms, and it's confusing because if you do that then there's no term to describe forced removal.


>according to international law it is

No. The International Court of Justice has said that the expulsion of a group does not qualify as genocide.

>It's another "Liberals get assblasted over natives." episode

YOU MEAN "AMERINDIANS", NOT "NATIVE AMERICANS"; ANYONE BORN IN AMERICA, REGARDLESS OF RACE, OR ETHNICITY, IS A NATIVE AMERICAN.

imagine if the Indians caused as much of a ruckus over what america did to them in the past as the blacks did

They're like 1% of the population, nobody would pay attention. And even if they did, the whites would just say "sorry our ancestors brought smallpox" and that would be the end of it.

You guys killed a fuck load of them.

I mean, seeing one is like a thing.

I love all these pale fools telling me about how they're 2/11th cherokee.

you mean like wars? and raiding villages?

they fucking did, there just wasnt people sitting around collecting statistics all day.

>1% of the pop.

Like trans freaks? They seem to be getting enough attention.

she was cute

>And even if they did, the whites would just say "sorry our ancestors brought smallpox" and that would be the end of it

If the natives had the same mindset as BLM they would demand that you guys infect yourselves with smallpox as reparations

>I love all these pale fools telling me about how they're 2/11th cherokee.

i guess its funny to you because youre a privileged faggot who doesnt have any concept of what a difficult life might be so you sit on the computer in your basement acting like youre so above everyone and everything. just so you know, youre a fucking faggot. i guess to you peoples struggles are boring or petty to you. that just goes to show how fucking dumb you are. fucking sarcastic piece of shit. kys.

uhhh girls why don't you just move to Hollywood????

Yeah that's pretty much textbook genocide, I mean the term wouldn't be coined for 100+ years, but it's definitely genocide.

they do. every year we have to hear about how Columbus Day is racist, and the Washington Redskins are racist, and the Cleveland Indians are racist...

>textbook genocide
No, it isn't. There are plenty of cases that actually are textbook genocide (Germans against the Herero, Germans against the Jews, etc.) but this isn't one of them.

>I mean the term wouldn't be coined for 100+ years, but it's definitely genocide.

"The expulsion of a group or part of a group does not in itself suffice for genocide."-International Court of Justice (2007)

Yeah, you're pretty funny to me as well, faggot.

Dude that's hardly one tenth of the ruckus caused by black people about any other thing.

I mean fuck slavery, they were genocided. And black people complain more about one single person killed than what we hear about the entire nations practically lost during the centuries of settlement on that continent.

Don't forget those mouth-breathers that bitch that Chief Wahoo of the Cleveland Indians is racist.

>why aren't there more Native Americans
No one gives a fuck
>why aren't there more Latinos
No one gives a fuck
>why aren't there more Asians
No one gives a fuck
>why aren't there more blacks
THE HISTORY OF THE MARGINALIZATION AND THE HOMOGENIZATION OF THE SOCIO ECONOMIC AND SYSTEMIC RACIST WHITE DOMINANCE... AND AND... OPPRESSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL INEQUALITY WITH THE WHITE AGENDA AND AND!!!!!!!!

but blacks are like 6% and make up 97% of tv now

>I love all these pale fools telling me about how they're 2/11th cherokee.
Every native person I know hates this and sees it as a massive insult. Which is kind of funny, considering how white people do it all the time and think it makes them cool, or that it lets them empathize with natives.

But from the native perspective, they got a seriously shit hand in the history of this country, and the very people who dealt them that shitty hand now think they're cool and try to be them, despite having none of the culture. It's adding insult to injury.

Chief Wahoo is pretty racist. He's bright red and his name is "Chief Wahoo". The name "Cleveland Indians" isn't all that bad, but for god's sake change the mascot.

>imagine if the Indians caused as much of a ruckus over what america did to them in the past as the blacks did

Well you know, part of the reason of why you're even wondering that is because they caused way too much of a fucking ruckus over the course of american history to the point where their presence is negligible.

what was the significance behind this?

There's a bit of a difference between being enslaved for centuries and being wiped out by diseases. The Europeans didn't intend to bring smallpox and syphilis. Although they were probably overjoyed by the outcome, a disease that kills the other race while leaving yours alone and doesn't damage the land sounds like something out of Hitler's dream journal.

Columbus was just bringing diversity to America. Why do they hate diversity so much the racists!

The significance is that whoever made it is an idiot who thinks that European conquest of the Americas is in any way similar to immigration.

For real though Columbus was a monster.

He's an integral part of the Cleveland Indians. For fuck's sake, he's smiling and acts as a positive image for Cleveland fans. This shit pissed the fuck out of me back home.

It's like those chucklefucks bitching about the Braves and Redskins teams.

Well, white people didn't just sit back and let viruses do all the work either. It's just viruses are so good at it.

That doesn't apply to North America, though. If those were South American natives then you might have a point.

He might be, but let's be real, his depiction is the Native version of old ass drawings of blacks with the pitch black skin and bright red lips.

Forcibly removing a race of people from an area absolutely is genocide.

Wait for the Scalped series:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalped_(TV_pilot)

>According to deadline.com, the Pilot episode will feature an all Native American cast.[2]

I read his "diaries".

It's awesome. Basically it's pointed out how he sized up natives right from the beginning, showing them his sword to see if they recognize it as a weapon and noting that they do not and cut themselves holding it, yet some have scars from conflicts. So he knows they don't work metals more make long edged weapons and they are not all one society. It's a long list of how he gathered intelligence for what would obviously be the next part.

You're taking an entire race with many different cultures and using them as a mascot for a sport, do you not see how they could find that offensive at all?

>He's an integral part of the Cleveland Indians. For fuck's sake, he's smiling

Think of it this way. If the Cleveland Browns mascot was a black caricature named "Lil' Sambo" with absurdly exaggerated features, wouldn't that be racist? Even if he was smiling?

>It's like those chucklefucks bitching about the Braves and Redskins teams.

I never thought there was anything racist about the Braves. It reminds me of names like "Spartans" or "Gladiators", it's a tribute to famous warriors of the past. Redskins is borderline.

For real tho, redskin is basicially nigger except there aren't many whiteys getting as butthurt over the word

Columbus really was pure evil. Ever notice how most latin american countries have huge native populations but Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic (where Columbus landed) have virtually none?

Race is a made up construct you bigot. There is no race other than the human race.

He wasn't just cruel to natives though, he governed his own people just as bad. Dude did really twisted shit.

Like the time one of his sailors said "hey, this isn't India" and Columbus cut out his tongue and tossed it into the sea. I still can't believe he hasn't gotten his own HBO miniseries yet.

...

Does "breed" sound better to you?

Well, I guess user knows better than the ICJ then.

:^)

who was in the wrong here?

Joffrey Baratheon sailing the seas raping and mutilating. Sounds pretty rad.

It'll ruin the heroic image that we have of Columbus in the West. Even that 1492 Conquest of Paradise film whitewashed the fuck out of him.

youtube.com/watch?v=OOz-VgCtyYw

Chief Wahoo has nowhere near the cultural baggage that Lil Sambo has. Are we gonna stop public schools whose mascots are Native American-based to stop celebrating school spirit?

Smallpox blankets were knowingly given to them. Don't act like it was all just a force of nature.

It's honoring Native Americans as an emblem for athletic competition; that's a tribute and not at all offensive except for SJW retards.

No it isn't. Chief Wahoo acts as a rallying point for Cleveland baseball fans not create racial hatred for Native Americans. BIG fucking difference.

Most native actors are Canadian

Adam Beach (guy from windtalkers)
Graham Greene
Chief Dan George

combine for 75% of all speaking roles by natives

so what? Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, they all commited war crimes, enslaved, killed. The great things they did are more important. Isn't it more important that Columbus discovered an entire continent and opened it to European exploration?

do republicans legit not care about people at all?

2. Redskins is a racial epithet
kek

>the great things Ghengis Khan did.

Kino as fuck though. Master and Commander levels of female wat.

I heard that Chinese people are short because of him.

...

woah dude thanks for the revelation

believe me, they do. In Canada the bitching never ends. We didnt wipe them out like americans did

Just because you think they're retarded doesn't mean that native american's didn't discover a the continent.

For example, if I found where you live I wouldn't have discovered your assisted living home.

The only 2 positive contributions that the Mongols ever did for the world was stamp out the Assassin Cult of Alamut and establish vast trade routes throughout the Khanates. I do give them props that they weakened Islam.

Educate yourself, bro.

>Ghengis literally gets to europe and decides it's a disease ridden shit hole not worth conquering or raping

I notice Canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders bitch a lot about their indigenous peoples. Are they really that bad?

don't worry I am plenty educated bro. Just think the Mongols were a net negative on humanity.

>Cutie
>Cree
>From Winnipeg

Sorry user, does not compute. You let an STI ridden slag who probably swallowed a guys load 5 minutes prior kiss you

if we'd mixed with the Natives we'd look like Mexico or Brazil right now.

Wes Studi is the other 25%,he came by my high school when I was a kid, nice guy

You realize that their kids were still being taken away and abused by government approved schools up into the 1960's?

Of course you didn't

>I notice Canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders bitch a lot about their indigenous peoples

It's because non-white Natives in predominately white countries are obnoxious, no matter where you are

>Are they really that bad?

yes

>it's an alt-righters don't see anything wrong with the genocide of natives by whites but the joos are "genociding" white people and they are evil episode

Canada and New Zealand? No, there just wasn't normally a black population to compare them too.

Abos are too dumb to be dangerous. Maori and Natives just often have bad upbringings and cling to their 'warrior' culture. Natives raised by whites turn out fine

yeah and now they get all sorts of reparations and they are abusing it like this.
cnn.com/2016/03/22/health/foster-battle-choctaw-nation/

they were fighting back with bows and arrows. we are not fighting back at all.

Notice you don't deny being a soft privileged faggot.
But then being racist is just how middle class neckbeards show rebellion these days.
lol
carry on pleb

Well fuck it. Still worth it. It was a confidence booster like you wouldn't believe.
In my defence I thought she was Japanese at first tho

Western and Central Europe didn't have the grasslands to properly support Mongol armies and their ponies. Plus the Mongols were already in control of some of the richest areas of Eurasia. Only India escaped their grasp though a descendant of Genghis' finally did the job.

that or they just become larping Marxists and complain all day.

OMG there are asshole natives?!
FUCK who knew?!
I guess that means what american and canadian governments did to them wasn't so bad after all

lol fucking imbecile

oh shit, I said that?

lol yes. What did you think you were saying?

Yeah. Scorning racism is such marxist bullshit.

lol

You sure got him dude my dude :)

Get a grip.

They can be played by Tibetans and Kazakhs.

>40,000 of them dying in wars

No. 90% died of disease then a further 5% died in wars and of starvation and other things related to being forced out of their homeland.

If you have 10% left of the original population and you kill directly a further 5% of that, that means you have killed 50% of what was left.

Killing FIFTY PERCENT of a population is GENOCIDE.

Dumb cunt

Name ONE eskimo actor. There are none. Hollywood is a racist hell hole

wew lad

A lot of Africans died in the Atlantic crossing. And many countries had slavery especially in the Americas.

because most never leave the free money and cheap drugs and booze the rez offers. My dad grew up on one and was one of the few who escaped

my dad's from a rez and it's fun taking friends I meet from the ghetto back to the rez and watching them get freaked out and be scared for their life

>one eskimo actor
jennifer love hewitt

Blacks are 16% and they also complain considerably more

Not to mention full-blood injuns tend to be ugly as fuck.

There's a shit load of indians here

They just were sombreros and eat tacos and call themselves "Hispanic" so could ruin the Spanish man's white status

why do whites get so mad when people criticize columbus day?im a mestizo maligno because of him
