Correct. And yet, they integrated.

Also see: Asians in the US. Especially those that migrated before WWII. (Or Italians or Irish, of course)

And yet, at some point in history all those groups you cited were "stealing our jobs" and "dangerous individuals" whose culture is incompatible with "ours". See also, the myth of the model minority: https://www.learningforjustice.org/magazine/what-is-the-mode...

Because within a generation they were impossible to tell apart.

Tell me you have no idea about asian american integration without telling me you have no idea about asian american integration.

> Because within a generation they were impossible to tell apart.

I don't think that's a correct interpretation. I would rather say the conservative blamers found other scapegoats to blame, for example with other immigration waves

My comment about Asians are that they integrated in spite of what happened during WWII
You don't need to confirm what we already understood.
