But I also agree with Anon’s definition. American Whites, a people of mixed European ethny, fused and became a people in North America.

I would say that ‘whoever got there first’ is the indigenous group. So, Native Americans=indigenous, White Europeans in America — not indigenous (sorry).

But, all White Europeans are obviously indigenous to Europe. Jews are not — they came later. Neither are Gypsies.

The thing is, the defense of one’s hard-won territory (the U.S., for instance) does not have to be argued on the basis of being indigenous. There’s no “right” to have such-and-such a territory just ’cause one got there first.

Fight for it or lose it. That’s the name of the game.

The native americans are theoretically not indigenous. Does that mean only blacks are indigenous to Africa since theoretically homo sapiens migrated from Africa. How many generations of whites are required prior to declaring “we’re indigenous”.

Damn silly.
