My Grandma was running away from the Marcos regime in the Philippines as a political refugee. Many Chinese Americans’s parents were running away from Red China.
There’s more than two stories in America.
Btw: Asians are racist as fuck to each other. Just in slightly different ways. It’s hard to describe.
Even if we settle on White America vs Black America specifically, Abraham Lincoln probably was a anti-slavery but pro-segregation kind of person. Racism itself has weird fractal-like split of nuance.
Case in point: Malcom X believed in Back to Africa and was anti-integration. Malcom X believed in building a new country (kind of like Israel) except for African Americans. What side do you put Malcom X here?
Bernie Sanders disagrees with your 2 Groups hypothesis
It says they would identify with one of these two groups, as in racists and anti-racists. Bernie Sanders would fit in one of those two groups. Your interpretation does speak volumes, however.
My grandparents came here from Norway and Sweden. Despite having viking ancestry, they were the sweetest, most caring left wing people on earth… My mother’s side was from Texas. I don’t communicate with them at all since I was a teenager and a cousin tried to seduce me. I’ll take the Vikings over the cousin fuckers. One side has distant slavery over 1000 years ago, and were violent raiders for several hundred years. The other side is currently racists and historically recent slave owners, and incestuous assholes that back a fascist. I will side with the Vikings all day, every day over that.
