Because the no other people
were treated quite as were the Nations
living here way back when. A similar question
could apply to grandchildren of slaves.
The majority of so-called Americans
migrated to this country and are extremely
happy when they compare life to the old world.
This is not the case with everyone however.

it's perfectly okay
to decimate, kidnap,
and do anything a "country"
might wish to do, and after a
generation or two, it doesn't matter?

not a member of an oppressed nation
living under foreign rule.
