Firstly please don't tell me that it shouldn't.

With colonized/formerly colonized countries like Palestine, South Africa, Algeria etc it seems pretty straightforward, since indigenous peoples are still large majorities of the population, but much different in America, since the eradication of indigenous people and their societies and cultures has been happening for centuries and now indigenous people only make up 1.3% of the population. Not to mention that the american population is made up of immigrants from around the world besides the descendants of settlers.

    Actually, have you listened to Blowback? Season 2 covers the Cuban revolution and that's probably a pretty good primer on this sort of thing. Cuba didn't automatically exile anybody en masse, they left on their own accord because heaven forbid they had to live with the locals on equal footing. The rich Gusanos leave on their own. In the case of the US, they would probably become refugees over in Western Europe.
