United States wasn't exactly built on multiculturalism either.

Laws dating back to 1790 restricted naturalization to white people, which arguably makes the US a sort of white ethnostate from the very beginning. This stuff only really went away after the 1965 Hart-Celler Act, and repealing that act appears to be an objective of the american right wing as of 2026.

It really made me question whether it was possible for a third worlder like me to ever become an american.
