They were 100% created to erase indigenous culture.
Not really. You can assimilate to a dominant culture while still maintaining your own culture. Immigrants do it all the time.

Some people care. Just because you don't , does not mean others think like you. You could say the same thing for slavery and the holocaust, i.e. "who cares".
Saying majority rules is a lot like saying might makes right, so minorities have to fall in line.
If one day native Mexicans dominate the South Western US, then awesome, because they are indegenous folks. It would be great to see the indegenous people become the majroity in North America again.
No my last comment is nothing like a rightwinger's because rightwingers always want their race to reign supreme, while I always want indegenous people to be the dominant culture in their lands.
would you support european nations deporting all non indigenous because within a few generations they will themselves be small minorities ?
They are being genocided. They are sterlized, their men are put in concentration camps. The government makes Han men move in with Uyghur women and children. Uyghur women are forced to marry Han men. Everything about Uyghur culture is being decimated and they are forced to take on a Han identity. And cultural genocide is still genocide, it is just slow motion and more subtle than shooting everyone dead.the uighurs arent being enslaved nor are they facing a holocaust what they are dealing with is han cultural domination either through education or being whittled down to an ultra minority through immigration. essentially the hans are placing a majority rules strategy on the uighur former territory.
tough luck but its to be expected.
The intent is to assimilate not kill off the people. They needed to learn English and get a more advanced education.
They retain some of their culture and it even influences the dominate culture, like symbols for example.
If I were to emigrate to a new country and assimilate to the culture and learn the local customs, am I committing self genocide?
Like doom said, Mexicans aren't indigenous and they speak a colonial language.
Indigenous people will never become the majority because the left keeps increasing immigration. "A historic number of newcomers." It's so bad aboriginals are leaving the cities.
How can you decolonize when you're colonizing the crap out of the country?
Depends on which groups they deport. If the non Europeans are not culturally chauvinist and attempting to take advantage of a liberal democracy to achieve cultural hegemony then I don't see why they need to leave.
European countries like Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal all colonized and plundered the countries many of these non Europeans came from so why should they have to leave. At the same time I do not support anyone attempting to dominate the Europeans demographically or culturally. And as far as Scandinavian countries go, I am far more sympathetic to them taking stricter measures because by and large they did not colonize anyone, so non Europeans can't point to colonialism as a reason.
They can speak English without assimilating and losing their indegenous identity. Jews have been living amongst Europeans for millenia and many married Europeans but they still retain their distinct MiddlEastern identity. The intent is to gradually kill off the indegenous people by erasing their indegenous roots and identity.
Indegenous didn't emmigrate, so your analogy does not work here. If you assimilate of your own free will, then it isn't genocide. But coercing a group to give up their identity, especially when the group is indegenous, is genocide.
Most Mexicans are Mestizo or full blooded Amerindian. Most of them have indegenous ancestry, with many having significant indegenous ancestry. Visually , you can tell the average Mexcian has indegenous ancestry.

Also you are wrong to say they are not being enslaved, plenty of evidence Uyghurs are moved across the country and forced to work in Chinese factories for little or no pay , and they have no choice.
Is there still George Washington Statues up in America?
?

They are a new ethnic group and are nothing like the people of the past.Most Mexicans are Mestizo or full blooded Amerindian. Most of them have indegenous ancestry, with many having significant indegenous ancestry. Visually , you can tell the average Mexcian has indegenous ancestry.
Just read an article where there is a bush plane on display in Manitoba that some natives want taken down because it is the same model as the one that took them to residential schools. Like fuck off. There are Jews who survived concentration camps who demand less.We need to destroy the pyramids, those were built by slaves #progress
Then the Great Wall of China. #loveTrumpsHate
Assimilation can also = genocide

No one calls that guy the founder of America.Christopher Columbus the "Founder" of America statues have been taken down. It's not a big deal

Columbus Day was started as a day to celebrate immigrants into the US. NYC, with it's large percentage of Italian immigrants decided Columbus would be the person to represent Immigration Day. This shows you how much pull NYC has within US politics.
It's an odd holiday since the guy never stepped foot on any land that eventually became the USA. He should never have had a holiday named after him. It should have just been Immigration Day and left it at that.
With that said, no one claims that he founded America.
Learning English is assimilating into the dominant culture. It'll never be like how it was before Europeans arrived and the intent wasn't to gradually kill off the indigenous.
