My point is still valid. I have distant cousin ancestors that were massacred by indians.

One is not really connected to the other. Claims that Europeans killed 70 or 80 million native tribesmen uses words that would mean some sort of Nazi or Soviet style mass murder. The disaster for the natives was no immune system resistance to common diseases. Even small pox, which was a very big problem in Europe was multiple times the problem for natives where this very aggressive bug was unknown.

The number of individuals killed in armed confrontations or even straight up massacres such as Camp Grant or Spirit Lake were infinitesimal to those who were victims of disease.

The whole point is leftists are now using epidemiology to demonize white Europeans. Incidentally there are never any mention of the transmittal of syphilis from the Americas to Europe by these people.
