Not at all. You sound like an English chauvinist. The English suppressed the Scots and Irish in this country for generations. My point was not about racial superiority, rewriting history or anything of the kind. It was that all peoples have an equal shot at opportunity in a land that does not privilege people by race or heritage. That said, I do NOT favor the rewriting of history. My own people would be trashed by such.

What have I said that is untrue? You sound like a hater of the English who chooses to emphasize their wrongs while minimizing their accomplishments, such as the settlement and founding of the USA.

In most all groups we find conflicts where some become dominant and others become subservient. The real "crime" of the English is that, when that was the the way the world worked, the English had far more success than most.

Maybe you should ask yourself why all those other groups of Europeans wanted to leave the nations where their ethnic group was dominant and come to a new nation settled and founded by the English. Maybe the English settlers had a better idea about how to govern?
