Lol...nah, but they're certainly in no position to call for the end of reservations. Especially since they created the damn things in the first place.

Now their descendents think they know what's best for another culture once again.

Astonishing arrogance.

That WON'T happen any time soon since we'll def put up a fight. Tho the "white" Afrikaaners wanted their own "homeland" in South Africa. I say "white" because many of them would be called" "Black" in the US; many Afrikaaners ain't as "pure" as they claim to be.

Genocide? Making people speak the main language AND follow our rules in a country like English in the US or Spanish in Mexico is genocide? Sheesh!

Other than me having this unusual thought of putting whites on reservations, whites should be made into slaves too, so they'll know what it was like to be people of color...oh, wait, whites were slaves, those danged Brits. They want to control the world.

Since whites now fear they'll be a minority someday, anything is possible in the future, we might not be around to see whites enslaved or on reservations, but it could happen. Demographics change through time.

American culture, like our language, our traditions. American culture isn't "white" however, we inherited a lot from the British, but also from the blacks, and whether people realize it or not, the Indians. Indians gave us corn -- and we use a lot of corn. Canoes, and the whole Teddy Roosevelt type conservation where there was a respect for wide open spaces and nature.

Imagine if whites could have reservations and could kick everyone else off them?

Very very true. The Indians are an excellent example of what happens to a people who don't have borders or immigration laws.

Assimilation into the existing culture is not a guarantee, often it's invasion not assimilation. We shoudl not make the same mistake.

Well the Indians can be an exception because they aren't immigrants.

Not very many Indian's don't speak English so language isn't an issue. The reservations were established a long time ago, so let them keep them if they want. A deal is a deal. We shouldn't be Indian giv --- nevermind.
