Ooh got it, I thought he meant Indians. He should remember that they are not Indians. Indian's are specific to one place only, India. The group he was talking about are Native Americans. Columbus thought he made it to India when he hit Hispanola and called him what he though they already were. You ever meet a Native American and call him an Indian to his face and you'll get an earfull.

Nice xenophobic attitude though. Why do you deserve this land and it's benefits, sob, while someone who was born as little as 100 feet from this border would not?

It's also a nice reverse analogy as the Native Americans were significantly less organized and technologically advanced than the invading Europeans who eventually forced them onto their reservations.
