We in the US deliberately imported
an, call it, identifiable laboring
underclass, and we're still paying the
price 100+ years later. Now, now that no doubt we have thoroughly
learned our lesson, certainly we'd never
try or even want to do that again, gee,
never, would we. I mean, we learned our
lesson the first time, right? An
identifiable laboring underclass, who
would want that one again, right?
We've been trying for 100+ years to
get this pot to "melt", and we're
still stirring, and stirring, and stirring. Yes, this observation is not
totally accurate and has several
loose ends, and maybe we can get
by with it this time, and hopefully
with the orientals we got for the railroads and
otherwise since
we have, but, while I believe I see
the intention, I can't be sure
I can see the situation in another
50, oh, heck, 100, years. However it comes out, and if we are
going to do it, then I hope it does
work out, I have to suspect that
in some places the intentions are not good. Or the joke goes, "The Republicans
want the immigrants to work [laboring class] and
not vote, and the Democrats want
the immigrants to vote [underclass
needing welfare] but not work
[take jobs from the existing
underclass].", not that I hear a lot of laughing.
Ah, no one would think
this way, right? And anyone who
suggests such, call it, manipulative
intentions can get some pejorative
labels. There's a cute Disney movie for children
that has a song "Why Can't We Be Friends";
guess that song is a bit too advanced
for much of the US power elite. |
