>nothing in this country for the past two centuries was actually built by the white European protestants A good example of the Motte and Bailey technique: the only way this statement is even approximately true is if "actually built" is interpreted narrowly to mean unskilled physical labor in the sun, but the writer hopes the reader will unconsciously become sympathetic to a broad interpretation of "actually built" to mean something like "wealth creation" even though most wealth creation over the last 200 years was the result of inventing things, explaining those inventions to others and organizing labor (through professional corporate managers, finance and government policy) which of course in the US was done mostly by white protestants.
