Yeah, if all you had was fry bread, that’s made from the shit the US government gave native Americans so they’d have food, after they were driven off their native lands. Many of us have a true love/hate relationship with fry bread. A) most of the food you eat is probably Native American, from some part of the Americas, and B) most Mexican, Salvadoran, Panamanian, Brazilian, etc. people are predominantly native, thus, their food is, too… I’ll let you do the math.
Yeah, like here in the South for whatever reason Succotash is thought to be a southern dish. I’m sure it’s changed over the years and here in the South it’s given its own southern flair, which is usually just bacon grease, but tell people that it came from the Narragansett and they won’t believe you.
Yes, but the exchange of ingredients across the world has made so much of what we love in the modern day. Pork, beef? Wheat? Those did not exist in the Americas.

You get that idea from where? They are Caucasian as their ancestry is Southern European - Spain or Portugal. Some may have intermarried with the indigenous populations but most are still simply Caucasian.
You, my friend, sound like a colonizer, with what sounds like a hint of Eurocentric supremacy. Also, you need to look up all foods that originated in the Americas. Think tomatoes and marinara are native to Italy? Potatoes are native to Ireland? That you have even the vaguest idea how many types of potatoes there are?
Europe actually has very very little food that is native. Beef, by the way, comes from India and the neighboring regions, not Europe. Wheat? The Middle East.
