Well, yeah, but I find that once you bring up the Native Americans, people shut down and stop listening to avoid guilt overload, but they might listen if you point out how the law has changed.
But the fact that the Mexicans we seem so intent on keeping out often have a lot of pre-Columbian heritage really kicks the irony up a notch, especially when we're already trying to keep them out of places with names like San Antonio and El Paso and, well, New Mexico.
