Notice I wrote up to 95% as no one knows for sure since that was before the germ theory. Also Native Americans wasn't completely wiped out as my dad side of the family has some Indian in them.
I should not have said wiped out. There are still remnants of Native Americans around today. Instead of wiped out, I should have said devastated. Their culture, world, and way of life was shattered beyond repair. Where they once roamed the country by the millions today they are confined in reservations by the thousands. Where they once had a language and culture all their own, today much of it is lost.
Lastly, you did say "up to 95%" so I guess if it was only 25% then it is covered by the "up to". In that regards, I should say that "up to 95%" of police kill innocent citizens every year. Then I can quibble about my stat and say, "Well, since I didn't know for sure, I said 'up to'".
In any event, your argument feels like you are quibbling and that you are trying to deflect and downplay the actions that the US government took against the Indians.
