re: #6 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Who in American history has been so thoroughly screwed than the Native American?

The Ainu of Japan. The various hill tribal peoples of China. The various peoples all through history who have been wiped out either utterly, or to so tiny a remnant as to be invisible.

Native Americans, by contrast, have a considerable presence with recognized territories and distinct demographics, together with a meaningful fraction of the genome of America-at-large. The majority of us have some Indian ancestry.
