It’s just the continuation of an American tradition that has been with the US since the founding fathers. Benjamin Franklin objected to “swarthy” german immigrants:
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2008/02/swarthy... Chinese, Italian, Irish, Eastern Europeans, Mexicans, the list just goes on.. There is always external (or externalized in the case of African-Americans) forces trying to dilute the purported “purity” of the hegemony, despite the fact that the country has always been defined by continuous immigration. It’s just reactionary people desperately yearning for an imaginary past. One of the classic tropes of fascist movements like white nationalism, christian nationalism or the generally sclerotic and reality divorced movement that worships Trump. |
