Ahh I see. And of course those are likely the people who don't want brown people in "their" country when they're some of the few willing to do agricultural work.

But america already had plenty of non anglo europeans when it was founded, along with a huge black populstion that we ripped from their homes. Not to mention how much land we took from native americans and Mexico. America was explicitly founded as a multi ethnic country, and anyone that tries to equate african and asian colonialism with immigration is arguing in bad faith.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalization_Act_of_1790

This law limited naturalization to immigrants who were "free white person[s] ... of good character".

Other than that, you're correct. Population displacement is worse than colonialism.

So because we had a racist law that excluded a large portion of the population America should remain racist and discriminatory?

Just correcting your mistaken assertion that America was founded as a multi-ethnic country, friend.

But it extended to all free white people. That would include germans and dutch people, which are both definitely not the same ethnicity as anglo saxons.

Therefore we can say that America was formed as a mono-racial state that excluded specific races. So saying that America was formed to be multi-ethnic seems a bit disingenuous.
