    The OP is horrible too.

    Over 90% of Tibetan people still speak their ancestral language.

    Wanna guess what that number is for indigenous people of Turtle Island?

    spoiler

    It is 8%. EIGHT FUCKING PERCENT. Fuck all of these cracker libs.

    Americans and Canadians love to pretend that just because their genocides were more successful and the victims less numerous less numerous now that this somehow invalidates their struggle. One of the longest enduring struggles against colonialism is still alive today in spite of all efforts to exterminate them. Efforts that are ongoing.

      the victims less numerous

      North Amerika had about 10 million inhabitants before the settlers arrived and half a million natives left once the expansion of the US and Klanada was complete. Libs downplay this by saying that half of the 9.5 million were killed by plagues instead of being directly murdered, which is ignoring pox blankets, but you have to be creative when you want to deny actual genocides that leave behind material evidence.
