It may sound obtuse but It does set precedent and questionable doubt could be set with how the land was obtained.

I don't understand how land ownership can be extended to a race or ethnic group in general. I own my property, but that doesn't mean it belongs to the white race. Even if there was some type of demographic shift where my land had someone else settle on it, I don't think it makes sense that in 400 years, a group of white guys could come along and claim it.
