Of course not - it’s tongue in cheek with a dash of gallows humor. Though wasn’t your comment similar in pointing out the irony that two of the agricultural gifts went on to lead to shortening the lives of countless immigrants? Though had I not misread your comment, I probably would have skipped that comment and point out that those “albatrosses” continue to disproportionately negatively affect Native peoples (at least in the US).
And yes, I am intimately aware of the history of the Native Americans, especially the North American after the mid 1700s, including my ancestors Navarre who were moved from the Great Lakes, to Kansas, to Oklahoma, a have seen a map that included their plot of land allotted by the government.
