Too bad California is overrun by Mexicans, Jews, and Asians. Sad!

    Mexicans didnt exist until Spaniards invaded the land known today as Mexico.

      Like user Snca said, Mexicans are generally a hybrid of European and Native American etc...and thus are not indigenous.

      Also for the most part, all land was "stolen" from someone else throughout history. Native Americans mercilessly murdered each other in huge wars in order to steal their enemies lands/hunting grounds, long before Euros showed up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Before_Civilization

      It doesn't actually make any real difference that Euros did the exact same thing by capturing their disputed land. Unless you think the color of their skin for some reason made it more of a moral transgression.

      It feels that you're viewpoints on these subjects tend to be shallow. Read some history and anthropology to learn about the world around you!

        The Native Americans didn't just "have fights" with each other like disagreeing siblings. They brutally killed, tortured, raped, burned, slaughtered each other relentlessly for however many centuries. No one was spared, not women, babies or old people. And they stole their defeated enemies lands. Did not borrow or share, they took it. Euros were surprisingly compassionate and pushed them onto reservations once they surrendered. Native Americans would have simply slaughtered their defeated enemies and ignored their pleas for mercy.

          Ok, you're having your beliefs challenged and it's getting uncomfortable for you. That alright! You can't have European technology without European conquest. Did any of these Native Americans you know genuinely want to go back to subsistence living, picking berries, hunting animals, living in Teepees in the middle of winter, dying from infections/ basic injuries, no medical care except for herbs and some incantations as well as giving up knowledge of how to read or write?

          This information was orally handed down from tribe elders, and from exhumed battle sites, not fabricated by Euros.

          These are honest questions that would have to be answered. Most Native Americans are okay being provided free housing and free money while living a life of comparative comfort. I've spend a lot of time on Reservations, and it's a sad state of affairs, but the alternative is not acceptable to most of them either.

              A hybrid is a mix, you can look that information up on a search engine. Yes, they're part European and Indian hybrids. I'm not as optimistic as you are about this imaginary rainbows and puppy dogs future you are alluding to. The more "Mexicans" there are around, the more Mexico a place becomes. It says a lot when you think of a good Mexican as being a Gangster. Do you even listen to yourself? I'm happy for you that some low Iq criminal made you feel good about yourself by saying that you "have balls". You actually have self esteem issues.
