Why do people still say there was a genocide of indiands in the US?
Also, why didnt Europeans get wrecked by diseases in the Americas as soon as they would land on American shores?
Or why didnt some of them carry diseases back into Europe causing huge amounts of casualties?

Cause Spaniards used Caribean islands to acclimatize themselves to the New World.

How would this work? You cant transmit antibodies....
Many would die of american diseases and those that would stay would be immune but the moment new people arrive they would suffer the same fate...or as soon as a carrier would go back to europe american diseases should spread among europeans killing them..
Perhaps American diseases were not as lethal because of the different living conditions of native americans and europeans..

One reason why the natives didn't have their own version of smallpox to give the Europeans is because they were not a farmer or herder culture. In the old world there are stable animals such as a pigs, cows and chickens which people come into contact with regularly as opposed to the Americas where they only had llamas. Even domesticated pets work in a similar way. Europeans and other people from the old world were much more desensitized to disease caught from animals as opposed to the Mesoamericans.
>Why do people still say there was a genocide of indiands in the US?
Because it was. Not that I care, I'm white. There were very very few Indians in usa and Canada (~7 million), and they were killed and driven off in conquest. It's a good thing from my perspective more land for my people. The us and canada are a beautiful and fecund land.
>Also, why didnt Europeans get wrecked by diseases in the Americas as soon as they would land on American shores?
They did. Many many europeans died.
However, we didn't experience the catastrophic death that Indians did, because we had many immunities from livin gb in close proximity with pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, goats, horses, etc for thousands of years.
There are only a limited amount of disease resistances on the human genome, so disease resistance is localized: one race does not have .ore resistances than any other, just ones that are more specialized to their area. But Europeans have had very good ones for dealing with disease around the world, lucky!
>Or why didnt some of them carry diseases back into Europe causing huge amounts of casualties?
Same as above. Many diseases also affected European crops/animals like the potato blight.

There were obvious attempts to eradicate tribes from areas. The problem is the liberal edgy meme that the natives were like na'avi and relations between settlers natives was nothing but one sided genocide. Violence went both ways, many assimilated and some ended up owning land and slaves.
>Also, why didnt Europeans get wrecked by diseases in the Americas as soon as they would land on American shores?
The old world had a far higher denser population for far longer, more domesticated animals and more time to collect, spread and evolve diseases.

There WERE instances of genocide against natives in the US, particularly in California where they even legalized Indian slavery to encourage miners and settlers to break up their villages.

There was genocide. Why pretend it didn't happen?

Your time will come too don't worry.

He doesn't want to have to deal with white guilt. Newflash, cumskins, you aren't responsible for the actions of anyone just because they share a similar skin color to you.

"Genocide" implies deliberate extermination. 95% of native Americans died, but it wasn't on purpose, it was just because of diseases, before we even understood how germs spread. The vast majority of natives who died never even met Europeans - the diseases spread first.
