                  Brazil certainly has seen a massive change.

                  A 2015 autosomal genetic study, which also analyzed data of 25 studies of 38 different Brazilian populations concluded that: European ancestry accounts for 62% of the heritage of the population, followed by the African (21%) and the Native American (17%). The European contribution is highest in Southern Brazil (77%), the African highest in Northeast Brazil (27%) and the Native American is the highest in Northern Brazil (32%).

                  Argentina too

                  Many genetic studies have shown that Argentina’s genetic footprint is primarily, but not overwhelmingly, European. In a genetic study involving 441 Argentines from across the North East, North West, Southern, and Central provinces (especially the urban conglomeration of Buenos Aires) of the country, it was observed that 65% of the Argentine population was of European descent, followed by 31% of indigenous descent, and 4% of African descent.

                  Another example would be Canada, but that’s a bit on the nose.

                    19th century migrations were a thing.

                    What you posted doesn’t reference any kind of genocide or ethnic cleansing, just people with a higher European percentage.

                    That’s my point, Americans are the exceptions. Most societies mixed instead of wiping each other out

                Collateral damage is dying due to the unintentional spread of diseases.

                Deliberate damage is sending the natives cloths that have been intentionally infected, then killing off their main source of food, then wiping out entire groups and then claim the natives are the savages when they fight back, while there were rewards for hunting natives like they were wild animals, and then confining the remaining few in bantustans or as the US called them “reserves” (know what wildlife reserves are?) that are put in areas chosen to deprive them from enough resources and where alcoholism was instigated by the government as a way to keep them weak. The people who made all of this possible are now regarded as national heroes.

                And no, not even the English killed as much as the US.

                    Americans don’t consider the founding fathers and Lincoln to be heroes?

                    Also, feeling bad about something you’re perpetuating is worthless. It’s like killing someone but doing it with your eyes closed because you feel bad

        Woah, I didn’t know you were an expert on every single nation.

        My apologies. Everyone, we’re in the presence of greatness. Bow your heads.
