Re: Oh please.

And when Europeans first arrived *they* were the minority for over a century. In parts of the south blacks were the majority... But, I guess you subscribe to the 'Indians have disappeared without a trace' school of history ... and, of course, those slaves had nothing of cultural value to offer. And ten percent is such a small number let's just ignore it! Let also ignore the fact that the number is now more like 30% non-white... Let's ignore the fact that the census data at that time only included places that had enough white people to become states... so by default you get those numbers-- yet cultural influence knows no borders. No. Like you said. White people made everything... right. America is Euro-centric-- how dare I question that.
