How are these idiots now realising the irony of this?

You were founded by undocumented immigrants, most of you are from a lineage of undocumented immigrants

Strictly speaking, there isn't any irony. Your argument is irrelevant to the situation. It doesn't matter who founded what. My country has a few thousand years of documented history, so it was founded by some club-waving barbarians but this has nothing to do with modern times.

Completely agree, but there's this hard-on people have with bringing up the terrible shit that America specifically has done/has happened in the past at every possible chance.

To be clear, it did happen and it was atrocious, but there's a time and place when it's relevant.
