yes Nanook,
Native Americans, Filipinos, Hispanics, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Africans both Arab and black, 70 million white poor etc. the United States does have a problem with poorer and weaker people of all colors.

They have to kill a lot of them to get what they want.

This statement brings to mind the practice of military recruitment targeting the poor American neighbourhoods to sign up kids with little or no hope so they can be sent off to go and kill and die to protect the interest of wealthy Americans.

Yes indeed KFM,
