Both starved millions of their own people to suit their own purposes.

We absorbed very little, other than place names, from the Native Americans or from Mexico. Most American culture was imported from Europe, notably Britain, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, and Scandanavia, later mixed with substantial Asian and African inputs. If there is any native culture, its the legacy of the Wild West, and the only real native cuisine is barbeque. Don't blame the US for American culture, blame the world. John |
