>>109451351This mythology was invented in the 1960s and it never made any sense. Until the self-serving foreigner Israel Zangweil invented the self-serving term "melting pot" in his play of the same name, culminating with desegregation, the Hart-Celler Act and Civil Rights propaganda kicking into high gear, it was universally understood that the American founding stock weren't a random assortment of immigrants from across the world to an existing society, but were specifically Anglo-Celtic settlers, pioneers and colonists who founded the society in the first place. Any immigrant group which came in subsequent centuries - always less than 15% of the native-born population at most, every wave having plenty of unoccupied land to settle, always separated by decades of low-to-zero immigration - was closely ethnically related to that Anglo-Celtic core and it was only their offspring who inherited true Americanness by means of integration. The very term "nation of immigrants" is a contradiction in terms, as is the concept of a "nation of laws" or a nation "founded on propositions"; any such identity is civic and imperial, whereas by definition a "national" identity is and can only ever be ethnic ("natio" in Latin is a literal synonym of "ethnos" in Greek). And to drive the point home, the earliest immigration law we had limited entry to "free White persons" of good character.
We were always one people, and we still are one people to this day. Anyone saying otherwise is a liar who is ignoring history - my people's history - to justify committing both ontological and actual genocide. Facts are stubborn things.
