Not "quite possibly" - there's NO POSSIBLE WAY it could be worse than how far blacks were able to come - if nothing else because they get the advantage of the 14th Amendment and Voting Rights Act already being passed.

As Bill Cosby repeatedly points out, it's hard to argue with logic like that.

"there's NO POSSIBLE WAY it could be worse than how far blacks were able to come"

This is proof positive of your lack of historical knowledge, clawrence3.

As I mentioned previously, some of my ancestors were Irish. They came here to escape the Potato Famine of the mid-1850s, and many died alongside the Chinese laborers who built the railroads at that time.

Slaves were not used for this, because slaves were worth something. The Chinese and the Irish, on the other hand, were considered expendable.
