Okay, you simply aren't listening.
Never once did I say that it's a bad thing for a race to be diluted out. It's the inevitable endpoint of humanity.
The only part that makes it bad is the colonialism and actual murder and genocide that took place at the same time, accelerating its process.
This is the imagery white supremacists conjure when they whinge about alleged "white genocide", but their claims are bullshit because there is no one killing white people en masse and stealing their land.
Race mixing and "dilution" is inevitable when cultures meet and share amongst each other. This is natural and fine. What is not fine is murdering people, stealing their land, and raping their women to produce bastard offspring and create an underclass of mixed people to be brutalised as badly as their native parents, ending with fully native people being replaced by mixes of their rapists.
There is a huge fucking difference here, and by ignoring that you are the one furthering colonial narratives.
Source for such claims?
You're looking for a source that Colonialism brought with it subjugation, rape, murder, and genocide? Are you fucking dense??
It did in what today are the United States, not so much everywhere else
Ok. So you are dense. It happened all throughout the Americas- N. America, Central America, South America,as well as the Carribean, and Africa.
Colonialism? Yes, actual genocide? Only the US
...which claims? Are you gonna actually say anything of substance or be more specific?
You've gone from accusing me of being intelectual bedfellows with white supremacists, to being a colonial apologist questioning the genocide of the natives.
Okay, I'm getting the impression you're just trolling.
That's been my experience with them so far. But I do like watching them flail around in these threads, so haven't blocked them yet.
Yes, what sources do you have of the Spanish genociding the natives?
The brutality of the conquistadors is quite well known.
Again, source?
