No, not even close. Take one guess why Mexico isn't considered a White country despite being colonized by Spain?
The Spanish weren't segregationist. So when their armies rampaged through Indian lands, they generals stole everything of value, burned any village they came across, and took harems of women they abducted because literally no one could stop them. Even the Spanish government couldn't stop them. There was a brief war between Spain and their own Conquistadors because sometimes the Spanish were appalled by the barbarity of their own countrymen. It didn't help that their first opponents on the continent were the Maya and Aztec who maintained their vassal states through mass murder and cannibalism as a form of subjugation.
The Indians were simply not prepared for the style of European Warfare that the Spanish had been dominant in perfecting against the German peoples (along with many others) during the Thirty Years War.
Most Indian land was legitimately bought and sold. Where shit got fucky with the Americans was their intention to basically sell the Indians food and guns to make them powerful, and dependent on the US, using privileged groups as a weapon against other Indians. It wasn't supposed to be like that the entire time, but that was our mechanism of conquest, and it's about as soft as you can get.
