The sad thing is that if you think about it, white supremacy has been the concept of what it means to be American since before the beginning. Even in the early 20th century some types of white people were considered unassimilable. This didn’t really change until the 1960s which saw the (almost) complete legalization of the citizenship of people of color. But I’m certain lots of Americans still think people of color are unassimilable.
