Need to timestamp that too. Native Americans weren’t white. Then Columbus came, and he wasn’t white. The Spanish/Portugese were here for what, 100 years before England. Really gotta ignore at least the first 75% of years after Mary got knocked up till now.
The Spanish he sailed under weren’t considered white. The Portugese where he came from wasn’t considered white. And Italians weren’t really considered white in the U.S. until late 1800s early 1900s. The terms WOP, Dago/Dego, Polac are terms I was still called in 90s, early 2000s as my father’s side is from Sicily, and my mother’s side was from Poland. Those terms stem from the not being accepted as white.
Many people who discussed culture in the early 1900s believed to become white and treated as such you would have to earn it over a few decades of proving prosperity in the U.S. It was all pretty shitty.
There was no US in the 1490s to give their opinion on this topic. Why judge this on some arbitrary period of history which is neither contemporary with the facts nor current? What a weird take.
The discussion is about the U.S. constitution. What the U.S.'s opinion was, is the topic. The arbitrary time period discussed was from the constitutions existence till now. What are you discussing?
You mean the US constitution wasn’t written by god and handed down by Jesus?
That’s not Jesus. He’s not brown enough.
We’re going for American Jesus.
You mean supply side Jesus
Nah at this point they’re clearly bucking for jihad jesus
Needs more guns and pickup trucks.
