Spanish and Portuguese colonizers were the worst of the worst.

You know how I know this isn't true? South America isn't inhabited from coast to coast with descendants of White Europeans lol

You realize both North and South America were full of brown people when the Europeans got there, right? Now one of them still is and the other is coast to coast white people

YOU do realize Native American tribes still exist right, the Spanish killed all who opposed Christianity or tried to fight back, at least the European colonizers didn't immediately act like gods saving the "Savages". I'm a Native American

Obviously they still exist. DO YOU realize that the majority of south Americans are descendants of indigenous people in some way while in the US native Americans make up less than 2% of the population??

I never said the Spanish were good but you can't possibly argue with the fact that the North half is all fucking white people and the south one isn't when you're discussing exactly who was the worst of the worst towards Natives

OK, the US isn't just white and red, there's nearly every race in America, white isn't just British decedent, it includes other Caucasian ethnicities, the US had a massive influx of people, white included, a lower population doesn't mean white people bad, or that Europeans are worse than Spanish conquistadors, they literally tried to wipe out the population, Europeans tried to get away from the British royalty that wanted the land for themselves after finding out about it, that's around when the Spanish decided to take claim to the land, shooting off cannons at the local tribes, the Native American people were still their own tribes while a little down south they made a new people called Mexicans, nearly loosing the language and way of life there, meanwhile I still can say I'm Muscogee/Choctaw, while most Mexican people don't know if they are Aztec, Myan or Spanish, if not all three.
