Anyway when was the United States meant to be desinated as a "white" majority country??
Especially when white people are not native to the Americas.
Until recently the archaeological consensus was that humans migrated from Asia to the New World via a "land bridge" (really just coastal shelf exposed by lower sea level) linking easternmost Siberia and western Alaska and via an ice-free corridor running through western Canada.
Recently, there have been several proposed alternative routes.
One proposes a coastal migration down the Pacific Coast of Canada to what is now the Pacific Coast of the US and Mexico, followed by a later dispersal inland. Most archaeologists regard this as a plausible hypothesis, one for which some evidence is supportive (chiefly early dates for sites near coasts in South America and Mexico).
The other proposed a migration from western Europe following the coast of the ice packs that covered the north Atlantic. The inspiration for this hypothesis is supposed similarities between the stone tools made by paleoindians and stone tools made by Upper Paleolithic Europeans.
GarzaUK said:Yeah I watched a documentary on that. But the American enviroment changed them from white to the race Native American since the ice age.
I don't see why you are so scared that other races are taking over as long as they have the basic American values. It's just skin colour, nothing else.
alphamale said:Also, you would do well to avoid absurd PC concoctions created by the american liberal establishment such as "Native American" - besides being a misuse of "native", the geographical-historical-political entity "america" is some hundreds of years old

I love how you claim that it's a misuse of the word "native", even though they WERE indeed native, yet you have no problem using the word "Indian" to describe them. This isn't a matter of "absurd PC concoctions," it's a simple matter of not using needlessly confusing terms. When I think of Indians, I think of people from India, as do most intelligent people.
alphamale said:"America" is a european invention, indians of say, 5000 B.C. knew nothing about "America".
Dictionary.com: Native - Being such by birth or origin: a native Scot.
The "Native" attempts to confer some special status to indians who were born here, as opposed to other who were born here. I'm american, and I'm native to america, hence I am a native american. Stamp your foot if you get it yet. As for indians only designating people from india, that's silly. Many placenames are a matter of historical accident or tradition only. The word "indian" for the people Columbus discovered on his first trip was a historical accident, as was the word "American" being a general misperception of the name of the continent because of the name of the mapmaker "Amerigo Vespucci" on maps. By your reasoning "intelligent people" wouldn't use the word "Americans".
