Blatant bigotry. We would have been just as well off if we had been colonized by Spain, or France, or Kenya. We need more non-Anglo-Saxon people here because “diversity makes us strong.” Don’t argue; “the science [or history] is settled.” So to speak. /s
You honestly believe that we would have been just as well off if we had been colonized by folks from a world power like Kenya? Go ahead, put that in the list to assuage your white guilt, and I don't care what color you are, you still have 'white guilt'.
