As you claim that you are very civilized and you massacre the red Indian (the original Americans) because as per your claim they all were history less my question is that what is your history as I read that when America discovered by an Portuguese than British , French, German, Dutch peoples came here and than a mixed society formed they mixed up than American nation come in to view (this mixture) my question is that are you Americans not the mixture of different European country and your ancestors and your roots meet in said countries? (may be your grand grand father and mother live in Britain, German, Dutch, France, or any other??

We are the mixture of different countries. We call it "the melting pot". Very few of us have great grandparents from just one country.
Most countries are like that. People in England are composed of Picts, Celts, Romans, Vikings, Angles, Saxons and Normans, for instance.
I'm not familiar enough with the rest of the world to give you a non-European example, but I know there are many.
>> As you claim that you are very civilized . . .
Every country does that. The English word "barbarian" comes from the Greek and refers to people who could not speak Greek properly. The Chinese look down on people who still have knives on their dining tables, instead of leaving them in the kitchen where they belong. Any Arab will tell you he follows the One True Religion and his moral code is superior to the decadent west. People in India can point to 5,000 years of civilization.
