> If history and geography trump the current citizens and laws, then the yanks should all fuck off back where they came from and leave it to the native americans and the mexicans, no?

Just the former. Because, you know, the latter, inasmuch as they are distinct from the former, have the same problem as "the yanks".



You're saying the current day USA-Mexico border is the limit of where any pre-columbian Mexicans ever inhabited?


I'm saying that "Mexican" isn't a meaningful description of any group of people that existed before the Spanish conquest.


The people who inhabited what is modern day mexico.

before colonisation the native americans weren't called native americans or indians but that doesn't mean they didn't exist.
