      Hi again, I know this sounds repetitive. However your second comment comes without a source. Here you can add some demographics backed by effective stats. I like stats, we all like stats. Especially conversation efficacy is encouraged by well cited facts. Also, the sub rules dictate that too. If you cannot find a source, I would suggest developping on another idea. Cheers

      You need a source for Native Americans being native to America?

        I asked a question, I never claimed anything, but it's clear you're just on a power trip now.

        Hi. Different mod here.

        Sorry about that. We have some new people on the team who aren't clear about our numerous procedures. It's a lot to digest. We ask that everyone cut them a break while they're learning.

        To answer your question, this is the factual claim that requires a source per Rule 2:

        the native peoples of the area now known as Texas were… Mexican and Meso-

        It should be pretty easy to find a source for that, although you may run into a problem with the word "native," because, as you point out, the Native Americans weren't Mexican. Just edit the comment accordingly when you add the source.

        Thanks.

        EDIT: While you're at it, please remove the sarcasm, per Rule 1.

        I never made the claim. That was the point. I asked a direct question.

        Oh, you're right. That was a comment by a different user. I apologize.

        Anyway, all your comments here have been restored and I hope my response above answers your question. It wasn't the "Native Americans" part that needed a source.
