Certainly it was not a good thing for anyone non-white that wanted to immigrate or was already a resident - I'm not sure what part of my comment implies otherwise.
I am only highlighting that the oft-repeated claim that America was conceived as a nation of non-discriminatory immigration is a lie. It only moved in that direction with the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
- ZeroGravitas 5y agoIt's very weird to be so specific that you're not saying <famous example of racism> was a good thing for <the victims of that racism>. You could have just stopped after saying that you weren't saying it was a good thing, but you chose not to for some reason. But I sense you're having fun being so vaguely edgy and contrarian so I don't want to further encourage it.
