I knew you would bring up the indians who were conquered and defeated by the first Americans. What race are you?

Ok, so I guess you meant the first people to live in America once it was established in 1776.

Those people were from the British Colonies and were mostly European white people. Others lived here but they weren't counted as people at the time.

Soooo...The first American's were European white people. Their race did not change once they became American citizens right?

Were they suddenly not white when they discovered and began building the United States of America?

Yes. They are of the white race. Not the "American race." That is my entire point.

But they were the first Americans...which means Americans are white with European blood.

Again, American isn't a race is it a nationality. That is what this whole argument was about.

Real Americans are from the white race

You understand the difference between fact and opinion right?
