MODERATORS
Okay, I misread the original claim, my bad.
However, the majority of Texans according to the 2020 census is of latin/hispanic ethnicity (40.2%), followed by 39.8% white.
I don't know what US americans need to claim any descent or ancestry, but I have a feeling that more people would claim spanish than german.
That's fair, you're probably right.
Still, my original reason for making a comment is probably true, too: the actual displacement of Native Americans from Texas probably mostly happened at the hands of European Americans who weren't Spanish, because the Spanish were themselves displaced before Texas was "settled" by European Americans.
Spain is Europe, too!
In the end, all of the European colonists played a role in the genocide against native americans. And my remark mostly was just a snarky reminder that it wasn't uninhabitated land that was settled.
