That pretty much answers what I thought

I recommend you to read about American history and the role mexicans, asians and black people played to make the United States the most powerful country ever.

Sounds like a flawed "history" you have there my friend.



Here is something to help you refresh your memory:


How America became the most powerful country on Earth, in 11 maps



Explain to me why America, which was 85% white in 1965, was such a desirable destination for the world's failed states?



ALSO: Why are all the Ivies, which were all created by European-American men, the best institutions of education on the planet?

The United States was a backwater for most of its history with most of the advancements coming from Europe and before that the Middle East and China. Race has nothing to do with desirability or technological advancement. You are cherry picking what you want to see and ignoring lots of history. Of course I am sure my words are lost on someone who thinks melanin somehow has something to do with the success of nations and empires.

It's quite possible that some of your own ancestors were considered to be among those from trash-heap countries in their time. Anyone who wasn't Anglo and maybe Dutch and Scandi, was at one time considered to be riff-raff. Even German immigrants, let alone Italians, Slavs, Jews. Who's in your ancestry, OP? We dare you to open that closet, and examine the skeletons in it.

How cavalierly (!) you gloss over much of American history! Definitions of "White" change over generations and centuries. The Irish didn't used to be considered "White", for example. Neither did Italians and various other Europoids, for various reasons. Ye are in need of a US History refresher course.

What did you say your ancestry was, btw? Oh, that's right; you haven't told us. I wonder why....?

The broadening of the definition of white over time certainly pokes lots of holes in the Ops assertions.

I hope you don't think America was built in 1950s or 1960s .... because you have a bigger problem than anything you have talked about.

The University of Pennsylvania, founded by Benjamin Franklin, was always a secular school.
