I've never lived on an Indian reservation. Also, I was never a slave and am not black.

I'm white - Caucasian, western European descent (French/German, to be more specific), etc.

Read some of the other posts before assuming I myself am a Native American.

I would have asked "What group comparatively suffers the most stigma economically and socially in america", just to not bring out the attack dogs.

But I guess, when in Rome:

I say Native Americans. Its easy to forget we are all standing on their land, and EVERY other group here either participated in its theft, or aided in it, or benefitted from it later. Whites waged direct and biological warfare to essentially ethnically cleanse NA's from the lands to take them, Mexicans, despite being of partial native decent, did the same in their lands, as well as marginalized the 'more native' populations. Asians sort of technically assisted with building railroads that supplied the onslaught, and many black slaves, once freed, became buffalo troops to work the Front lines in the Indian wars, to wipe out another group for the previous group that enslaved them.

Just my thoughts.


Wrong . American Indians didn't lose anything because they didn't own anything . They did not believe in ownership of land . They did nothing with this land but hunt and kill each others tribes . We have fed and cared for them for centuries, it's time they got off the reserves and into society .

Plus the spanish and french were here long before the europians .

lol how so? They were never slaves, segregated, or denied the right to vote. People are not so afraid of gays that they lock their doors when they walk past your car. People love the TV shows Ellen, Rosi O' Donnell, Will and Grace, etc. I just don't see most people looking down on gays anymore.

Why do you say homosexuals?

Again why do you say that?

I don't know about that one. It is discrimination based on religious doctrine perhaps. Avoid Baptist Churches, Church of Christ Churches, straight bars, and some corporate environments and you'll be just fine.

So the obvious answer if for all the Indians to move to California because they're the only ones who can own and run casinos!

One big group that was left off the list is the mentally ill.
