Quote:Well, technically, no. Technically, my grandparents were enticed to leave Sweden to escape famine and persecution and emigrate to the USA, also enticed by unscrupulous land barons in the US who had stolen the land from the indigenous people. We got here in time to serve in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf Wars, but we missed out on that whole manifest destiny crap.Your claim wasn't about your family. Your claim was about the United States of America. Obviously, when I refer to "you", I mean the second person plural referring to the collectivity of your country, not to you personally.
Quote:... what you talking about White Man? Like, Canada and Great Britain didn't participate in conquest?Nobody's said a word about Canada or Great Britain up until now. You flat out claimed that the US wasn't involved in it until at least WWII - which is patently untrue. This is my only point.
