        Yes, diluting their race to extinction. This is not a “genocide” per se (though the slaughters were), and is to be expected from immigration - but it has led to Mayans’ distinctiveness disappearing.

          So you’re against racemixing? You literally just called it genocide, which is what a lot of great replacement white supremacists believe

            I literally said it’s not, and that it’s normal, precisely because I’m aware of that very fact. Please read carefully next time.

              “Deluting race into extinction” sounds like white supremacist rhetoric to me tbh. Just admit your takes about racial purity and “soft genocide” are shit

                Okay, you simply aren’t listening.

                Never once did I say that it’s a bad thing for a race to be diluted out. It’s the inevitable endpoint of humanity.

                The only part that makes it bad is the colonialism and actual murder and genocide that took place at the same time, accelerating its process.

                This is the imagery white supremacists conjure when they whinge about alleged “white genocide”, but their claims are bullshit because there is no one killing white people en masse and stealing their land.

                Race mixing and “dilution” is inevitable when cultures meet and share amongst each other. This is natural and fine. What is not fine is murdering people, stealing their land, and raping their women to produce bastard offspring and create an underclass of mixed people to be brutalised as badly as their native parents, ending with fully native people being replaced by mixes of their rapists.

                There is a huge fucking difference here, and by ignoring that you are the one furthering colonial narratives.

                    You’re looking for a source that Colonialism brought with it subjugation, rape, murder, and genocide? Are you fucking dense??

                    …which claims? Are you gonna actually say anything of substance or be more specific?

                    You’ve gone from accusing me of being intelectual bedfellows with white supremacists, to being a colonial apologist questioning the genocide of the natives.

                    Okay, I’m getting the impression you’re just trolling.
