Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

no, but if one group lives there for a few thousand years, and another group comes like less than 300 years ago, then no technically you are not a native of the place, especially if you come from a colonial background.
now this doesn't mean that you are any less of a citizen, but it does mean that generally speaking that you come from a very different background
So when are white Americans not considered immigrants anymore? I hate desantis too but if he was born in Florida how can you call him an immigrant? That makes zero logical sense
All of Europe is stolen land, so who are not immigrants there?
And when you say "different background" do you mean skin colour?
I like my Finland example with my nephew, he is black but natively speaks finnish and was born there, is he an immigrant or a Finn?
A: never, mainly due to the history of the colonial expansionism of "white" Americans (the fact that you still use white already shows the problem)
A: only some parts are.
A: can't help it that black people were the slaves, Native American Indians (as opposed to the first nations of Canada, or the natives of southern America, because even these people have different backgrounds and experiences), or the Chinese "workers" of the early industrialization, often puts the demarcating line really close t skin color (almost like America is deeply systemically racist or something)
A: did his ancestors kill most fins/Saami and drive the remainder into reservations in some backwater badlands?
People on lemmy are completely delusional
