I suppose the main difference is that the colonization of the US was an invasion that was so successful that native Americans living there before were almost exterminated(being today less than 1% of the US population) and as a result nobody cares about them anymore.

Usually invaders, like Alexander the Great, Tariq ibn Ziyad , Kublai Kan, Hernán Cortés or Napoleon will kill opposition(mostly males) but leave women and children and men who don't oppose them.

That means most of the society remains the same after the invaders take control of power, and grant special privileges to themselves, like owning the best land or having sex with the local women.

In the US, they never mixed with local population, they just expelled them of fertile soil until they died from starvation, illnesses or fights.

A successful genocide, interesting take.

Isn’t that interesting..it seems like: Benign genocides are all about positive eugenics.

Likely the origins of: “Make Love, Not War.”

Kill the men..keep the children and women around.

Invasions strive to strengthen and diversify gene pools while colonists dont mingle genetics as all and all about racial purity.
