Yeah, it's amusing that the conquerors who incompetently called the people here "Indians" are somehow native to America. It's a bit like those people running around in "cowboy" clothing in what's now called Texas, aping the Mexicans they stole the land from.
You are bringing up something completely unrelated. I am talking about race, you are talking about some historical event that happened more than 170 years ago. It was a war, and America won.
No, Texas is in America, it is not America. (America was taken from the... so-called "Indians"... and Texas is something of a microcosm of that.) Furthermore, your earlier post was literally predicated on "some historical event that happened more than 170 years ago": in the "early 1800s". Finally, it is clear I discussed race.
WG: "So, when did you get your green card?"
Me: "hmmm, I am American"
WG: "Really? From where?"
Me: "[city in California]"
WG: "So, but when did your family move to the US?"
Me: "hmmm, I have no idea. I think the first ones came here in early 1800s"
WG: "THAT CAN'T BE!"
Me: "So, when did you get YOUR green card." (at his point I am just trying to play with him)
WG: "No, I am an American born and raised in [California city]"
Me: "But when did YOUR FAMILY move here?"
WG: "Well, my grandma was from [european country]?"
Me: "Well, I think if that is a definition, I am more AMERICAN than you!"
WG: Awkwardly walks away
