The placeless manipulate the levers of power, and will continue to as long as such levers exist. Stickers, in their view, are losers. The only effective political response to this would be a radical decentralization of power. Or its abolition.
The Native American population of the US is rather small according to the Census, something under 1%. A great majority of the African American population can be assumed to be descended from persons who did not come to America voluntarily, but that group as a whole amounts to about 12% of the US population. So something over 85% of the US population is descended from persons who did not stick, who came to the United States for much the same reasons that the non-stickers now move to areas with a strong economy.
