[QUOTE=Pro;782307]I like how you evade my request for sources by simply asking me what I just asked you. Native American individuals in Mexico who have no tribal ties are very well intergrated into society. Do we see the same in the US? Nope. Like Incal said, they are sent to live in shitty reservations. And then when we discover that there are Uranium deposits under their reservations, we want to relocate them once again. I speak from experience living in both areas. Do you? Racism exists everywhere, but the level at which it exists in the US is generally not commonplace in Latin America.

LOL you gotta be kidding me... This was due to disease and overworking the Amerindian slaves to death. Which also happened very commonly in SSA slaves that were worked to death as well in the south. However, the Spanish never purposely gave the natives small-pox infected blankets as was done in the US.

I think you are misinformed a little. the Spanish did horrible things to the Taino and Arawak speaking people of the Caribbean. overworking, cruelty, murder, are the same thing in my book. Just look at the evidence... where are the Taino that lived in Jamaica today or Antigua or Cuba, Haiti, Dominican republic? Not defending treament of Indians but at least America preserved some Native people. The Spanish main goal was finding Gold to please Spain and the Crown. Americans were simply trying to form a new nation and identity so the preservation of the Indian was important. And Yes the Spanish purposely committed genocide. I cant imagine any opposition to that statment
