I had one guy in California tell me it was "stolen from the Mexicans and the Indians." I pointed out that Mexicans and Indians are not one group of people. I said "you are Mexican" and "you stole it from the Indians." By the time my ancestors got here there were almost no Indians.
It's also pretty amusing that they think that if not for white people, they'd own all this land as opposed to like Carlos Slim owning it and them still being plebs. The "Mexicans" that own a lot of this land are still around hombre. A lot of wealthy, Hispanic-surnamed families in California.
Pardon my ignorance about the history of the Americas, but aren't "Latin Americans" also descended from European colonists?
They pretend to be native when it's convenient.
"Let's get those colonizers," yells the increasingly nervous white hispanics.

It depends on the people. Some are white, some are natives, some are black, and some are any mixture of the above.
