I'm sorry but ... that makes no sense at all and stats prove it is also incorrect.

No not all Americans dont just letting you know there are people from all over the world have come to America not just Brits
American founding fathers were European. Mostly British but from 1500 to present day all countries were pouring in; the aborigine was already here. America is one of the most diverse nations on the planet.
First of all we usually call Native Americans Native Americans or American Indians or Indigenous Americans but you could call them aborignes but remember the Founding Fathers like Washington and Franklin and Jefferson were born in the USA not Britain. But the statement "Americans have the same ancestry as Brits" is totally wrong. America is one of the most diverse countries in the world and thus there is no true "American ancestry" it is very diverse
Good point about those being born in N America.
Yes aborigine or indigenous people, interchangeable I think.
I don't use the phrase Indian (unless I am talking about Indians from India) but that's just personal choice.

Indeed, @sawdof, the waters will part.
The narration sort of sounds like a young David Attenborough

It's racist to point out there's a lot of violence coming from a country? 😂
What about violence rates based on race?

I'm unfollowing this thread. If chess.com won't do anything about it - not even move it to OTF ... bad enough it's politics but now delving into racism. I don't know what to say. I guess the entire Moderator team is on vacation all at once. 
Have fun, ya'all. I'm off to run Puzzles! :-)
UPDATED: I apologize to Moderators. They work hard and I don't even work here. I can't even hit 1,000 Glick so what do *I* know about anything?

White Americans are more violent than black Brits on average Id say
That's fine, as long as you agree that it's not racist to generalize based on race. I mean, since you don't think there's a problem with generalizing based on nationality.

This is quite an indictment on white America. How much time have you spent in America? How violent are black Brits? I have no idea btw
When I go to Scotland I stay in the country. No violence there. What about the movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? Explain all the violence in that movie committed by blacks.
140 posts and still not locked. @Martin_Stahl ... I've seen many threads locked instantly when politics is even mentioned yet this is allowed to go on. I just don't get it. All it does is cause animosity between members and it is disgusting.
Please, for the love of God, lock this stupid thread. Same thing happened with Chomper ... he was allowed to TERRORIZE this community for months.
I dunno why its happening I dont really really care
