Anti-Native American Sentiment

Revision as of 07:33, 13 September 2023 by Rangerkid51 (talk | contribs)

Anti-Native American Sentiment or Amerindophobia is intense dislike or hatred of Native Americans, which was a belief held by many European settlers. This ideology resulted in the American Indian Wars and the wider Amerindian Genocide against Native Americans. Despite the fact Native Americans are the rightful and original inhabitants of the Americas, they still nevertheless suffer significant racism and discrimination from the rest of the population and even from the government in some cases.

Damn any man who sympathizes with Indians! I have come to kill Indians, and believe it is right and honorable to use any means under God's heaven to kill Indians!
