Excuse me! The Trail of Tears was perpetrated against the original inhabitants of this country.

You insult all Native Americans by comparing them to lawbreaking Mexicans.

Thanks Palladin. I've even seen us compared to Palistinians here, not to mention the oft-used stereotypes on any thread concerning American Indians. It gets old.

Yeah, that's not a comparison we want to make.

I bet my ancestors stealing their land, putting them in stockades and force-marching them to Oklahoma was a much greater insult. By degrees I hardly noticed mine.

I would rather not have the Army round up anyone and place them in stockades but I'd make an exception for Muslimes.
