If you're not an indian, you're an immigrant.

If your family has lived in the same country for hundreds of years and many generations you are not an immigrant.

The point is that you are here because your ancestors at some point after the 17th century were allowed to come live here. It is hypocritical for any of us to want to deny other people the same opportunity.
This dumb quip needs to die. American Indians are also immigrants, of course. They didn't just cross the Bering Straight for bison and cheap smokes.

I agree that that particular quip is dumb but the overall point is correct.
Not really, the Indians raped the land just as much if not more. I highly recommend reading 1491.

That's mostly the Central and South American natives.

If there were emoticons here, I'd give this a big thumb's up.  Pure comic genius.
