Well I'm not sure who or what Native Americans worshipped Doc.

And was the holy crusade that conquered America any different to that of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Brutality and subjugation?


And are  you sure that your reservations are not simply based on appearance?

Then embrace an Afghani.

God will love you for it.

The racial make up of the U.S is roughly;

15% German.
12% African American
11% Mexican
11% Irish
8%   English
7%   American
5.5% Italian
3%   Polish
3%   French
2%   Scottish
2%   Native American
1.5% Puerto Rican
1.5% Norwegian
1.2% Swedish
1.2% Chinese
1%   Asian Indian
1%   Russian
1%   Filipino
1%   Scotch-Irish
1%   West Indian.

And then there's another 10% of odds and sods.

All data from 2021world atlas.com.  (Some percentages rounded up or down for ease of calculation)

So who should stay where Doc?

It looks like only about 2% have any real heritage.

And then some might say that relative to proximity Mexicans are more entitled than the Irish.

Depends upon how one chooses to cherry pick history and appropriate stereotypes I suppose.

Just saying Doc....The U.S. is already very much a mongrel nation.....So a bit of Afghan DNA  ain't going to make a whole lot of difference.

Other than in your head perhaps.


And just out of interest....How does one differentiate between Irish, Scottish and Scotch-Irish.

Exactly Doc.

You cherry picked 1965.

And stereotyped only 3 ethnic variations of Americans that correspond with your inherited sensibilities.

Very interesting that you don't include Mexicans.....Whose ancestors have been dotting backwards and forwards across the imaginary border line for centuries.

And the Chinese who moved in long before 1965 to build the railroad. 

Etc etc etc.
