They're a different ethnicity but still white. Also the Spaniards fucked over the Aztecs and Maya just as bad as the English did to North American Indians.

No, that would be Britain, by quite a long way.

It surely didn't. My people, in the genus Meleagris, are native to the Americas and have a long history here stretching back 23 million years. The land was ceded to my feathered forefathers when our theropod ancestors couldn't hack it after the cretaceous ended. Then you monkey fucks come poking around. Just a few at first but in greater and greater numbers over the past millennia. In the last few hundred years you've made up some silly mythology to ritualize the murder of my people for your weird tribal holiday. Fuck off. Go back to where you came from.

I find the smallpox blanket thing interesting. It makes a lot of sense that native Americans would have no immunity to European diseases (or European alcohol) but the fact that people in the 1600s understood that smallpox could be transmitted through blanket sharing (as opposed to bad air, or God's divine wrath, or something) seems quite advanced for the era. I mean this was when the height of European medical science was bloodletting and leeches. The germ theory of disease was nowhere near mainstream in Europe. No one had even seen a microorganism up to this point.

I suppose you'd rather be living in tents made out of animal hide and hunting with arrows made of rocks and digging holes to poop in?

They could have learned though experience that sharing things when you had smallpox could spread the disease. This, being very useful information, would presumably have been passed around a lot in that day's society.

True. You don't need a fully formed germ theory of disease to understand contagion. Basic ideas about quarantine had been around for ages. Avoiding plague towns or leper colonies wouldn't have seemed like a far-fetched idea to them. Even blaming malevolent spirits that passed by touch or bad smells is just a way of rationalizing the observations that using the same bedding or breathing the same air as a sick person is often a way of spreading illness. They knew something was going on that they couldn't see. They just needed a name for it or a rationale. Even if their assessment of the cause was wrong it doesn't follow that they couldn't have known what the effect would likely be.

Who said 'Fake News' started with CNN..
It may have been prevalent long before then.
Well...of course it was...people didn't just start twisting the truth to make their their adversaries look bad in the 19th century.

Why does this post imply that CNN was founded in the 19th century?
And what "fake news" are you talking about, American genocide of First Nations peoples?

Something you're used too, and better get used to it again.

Your clothes are made of cotton, which came from an animal. Thanks.

It worked for the Indians didn't it?

That's better than you and all your homeless buddies pooping under the bridge.

Plague doctors wore those cloaks and masks because they understood contagion quite well.

Correction, Oct. 23, 2006: The original sentence included Denmark among the eight colonizers that the study compares. It should have included the Netherlands instead. (Return to the corrected sentence.)
