Regarding #NIH websites, including #RePORTER, #PubMed, #NCBI, being down:

- It could be caused by a denial-of-service attack or a misonfiguration

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

The ancestral difference between American indigenous, Native Americans, First Nations, Latin Americans, Hispanics, and Mexicans mostly depends on which colonizer got to them first and wrote the label on them. They are rooted by the original Americans and despite all attempts still exist today.
