What rubbish, the Roman Empire should have collapsed hundreds of times- but it lasted for centuries!America bounced back from the Wall Street Crash...they will continue to last.
Of note, Rome never actually collapsed though in the sense of one big crash. It was slowly torn apart by foreign influences, inner fighting, corruption and a lack of sticking to traditional Roman modus. It did take centuries though.

No they weren't, they're still around, I've been to their shitty casinos.
The killing is a hyperbole but they only about for right at 2 % of the population of the U.S. currently.
And at the casino resorts they tell you that you can see "real indians" (the ones that decided not to sell part of the land) if you look outside the window to your left.
In contrast, black people have hip hop music which supposedly depicts the real life hardships of "the struggle."
I don't think either qualifies as having their day in the sun.

Which they are calling "return of the buffalo".
Buffalo meat is much healthier than cattle and Buffalo put on more weight for an equal sized consumption of grazing, so you have that "eco-friendly" angle going for you.
If I were a crafty American Indian, I'd use my land not for casinos or novelty shops, I'd raise herds and herds of Buffalo for consumption.
I figured as much, but just took it a step further.
The "Americans" tab does bug me a bit though. I'm not Native American but it does go back to that way we are taught that "settlers" (from Europe) were being inconvenienced by the Native Americans.
The Native Americans have to be considered the "settlers" because they were there millenniums beforehand, at least that's what they tell us...
It's incredibly ethnocentric but such is the "American" way.

I'd probably build a casino.

Screwing over the less capable isn't just an "American way". It's human nature.

I disagree but that's cool.
Historical precedent does support you but we tend to only get the view of the conqueror. There are examples of people coexisting in a peaceful manner as much as possible without allowing themselves to be taken advantage of, but again it is shown as a rare occurrence because we only have the view of the conqueror.
