Posturing for a completely unrelated issue wins points for the woke crowd, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand.

[AlotOfReading]

I'm not sure I understand how native Americans are unrelated to the topic at hand. They still exist, and there are still thousand year old villages in the US and Mexico.

You mean to get cultural meaningful intermingling, you shouldn't wipe them out?
