Are you talking about Elihu Yale?  If so, yes, I realize the influence he has on American politics today.

Americans actually comes from Europe because of the immigrants thing, so there are actually brothers. The different is that Americas rule the politic and economic world not the Europe

yes, I am certainly aware of this.  North America has 3 countries, Central America has 7 or 8 (I forget) and South America has a lot (sorry, I don't know that either).\n\nI think it all started when we called ourselves The United States of America.  We were already refered to as "The Americans" in England (since England owned the Colonies and Canada I guess it was a natural thing to do when refering to the far away place.  We still do it today when we speak of African or Asian people).\n\nIt isn't so much of a stereotype as it is a missuse of words.

Native Americans were here first. They are the original americans. Indians are not from India. They were only called "Indians" because the first settlers didn't have GPS systems or anything and thought they were in India instead of what we now call the U.S.\n\nThe native americans are Asians and originally came here by crossing the Berring Straight from Russia.

No and why would they? America had companies that slave labored their people and polluted the land. They then abandoned the Mexicans for Chinese Communist workers at half the price they paid the Mexicans.

There are some who believe that we are indeed a colonial empire.\n\nHowever we (the US) are not National Socialists, we are a Federal Republic, with all that implies about checks and balances between levels and branches of government. WE the people of the US are the US government.\n\nTake a look at the book Empire (see link) whose thesis is that YOUR "we" the Empire is in fact not the US alone, but all the industrialized nations, and multinational organizations and corporations. \n\nMaybe so. But don't you think trolling with the acronym for National Socialism is a bit extreme if you are actually looking for a thoughtful answer?

I believe that some of those formerly colonized countries are better off now than they would be if they had not been influenced by British rule for a period of time.  India comes to mind.  So does North America, which would have inevitably come under some more modernized nation's colonial rule for a time.\n\nHowever, during the colonial period, the people of those places suffered great injustices including outright robbery of resources and taxation that I would firmly oppose.

Historically people from UK have gone to other countries and taken advantage of the people and resources...just returning the favor. Y'all would have been here had we not kicked your butts in the American Revolutionary War. I do not mean to be offensive to the UK at large, just bigots like you.

Yes.\n\nNative Americans were a part of this great nation long before the English took over. Native Americans proudly established communities that promoted togetherness and unity and respect for the land.

Not that you would recognize from the book.  The US of A has more Class War going on there than here in the UK these days.

no not everybody came from there. You are considered native to a country if your ancestors we there and part of the country as it was created.

Do you mean other than founding the USA??

Think of the formation of America. A bunch of rebelous folks from England decide that they don't want to be oppressed. They sail off to America, and they find someone else already lives there. So theses British-Immigrants decide to take the country for their own, by killing the Indians that got into their way! The country was born when the Pilgrims began cheating and killing the natives.

I don't think many people in the US realises that the UK is actually a real, seperate, you know country. They think we are   one of those cute litle places they saved from the Germans but that doesn't have as many castles.
