The difference between the two is the basis for the action. Assimilation considers the conquered peoples worthy of being part of American society and not as inferior creatures against whom the cruelty of what the United States actually did is "justified" by these indigenous tribes not being human. Many societies resist allowing outsiders become part of those societies - mainly out of concern for corrupting that society genetically, culturally, etc. Such concerns are entirely valid as each society has the right to dictate who can or cannot be part of it. However, that's not what I'm referring to here. In this case, I'm contrasting assimilation with how indigenous peoples were treated by the United States and argued in favor of assimilation because it elevates indigenous peoples to a level equal to that of the society into which they would be assimilated whereas what the United States actually did is based on a view that indigenous peoples were inferior.

The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. "I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up." The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

3) Now let's turn to Levi's post and the questions he used:- 1) Yes. Make them free now. - It's not up to you. We Scots will decide 2) Put it to a referendum of the Scottish. - Don't disagree 3) Put it to a referendum of all Britain. - Don't disagree 4) Leave things as they are. - How? "things" are changing every day. The Status Quo is never static. 5) No. Stop all devolution and make Scotland a county. - Impossible. You could try, but you'd lose. I'm with Viv on this, regaining control over our own country is the raison d'etre of Scottish Nationalism. It cannot be said too often, but Scottish Nationalism is not racial in any way, shape or form. Scottish Nationalism is inclusive and civic, in contrast to, for example the events in Northern Ireland or Euzkal Herria.
