[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4855611, member: 24302"] You may want to discern between ethnicity and race. And just because you don't see Irish and Italians as white like you because they were once discriminated against doesn't mean they aren't white. What Americans saw in their land of plenty were desperately poor people who came here with nothing and lived in slums in big eastern cities. That was just not done in prosperous America. People who debased themselves in their view were worthy of scorn and derision. One of America's past sins was building a class structure by which all were judged. At the root of racism. Make it extraordinarily difficult to succeed then heap scorn and derision on whole classes of subjugated races and ethnicities. We've come a long way since then but liberals will tell you otherwise.
