In the old days there wasn't purity either. Savages mixed with englishes, mixed with scotts and Micks mixed with wops and krauts and all became one amalgamated mass. So now we're adding some pajeet and nigger and kike and chink in there, it's the same idea nothing new. Same immigration laws as always, it's just that now different countries are sending their people over. Our country has always welcomed people from EVERYWHERE. Read the new collossus poem. Except for a short time with the chinks we didn't, lol.

Only at the very beginning were we all one ethnicity during the colonial times. But that was extremely short lived, and we have always been about accepting outsiders, AS LONG AS THEY FOLLOW THE LAW.

During the colonial times each ethnicity lived in their own settlements and they did not comingle. The rare occasion of miscegenation was considered a disgrace. It was not until long after the war of independence that any significant numbers of non english were even allowed to live in the states because of the need for bodies to power american exansion into the west. The absorption of the french colonies was the first infusion of non english blood.

Your belief that miscegenation is normal and was always common is the result of propaganda. It is just wrong, but you grew up surrounded by people very passionate about their belief that racism is a great evil and should be rooted out. To that end you have been mind fucked by liars and the useful idiots that this constant lying produces.

Tell me you know nothing about colonial times without saying you know nothing about colonial times.

Interracial marriage was banned in the state of Virginia in 1691, a full 84 years -- that's four generations -- after it was established. You don't have to ban something that isn't happening. Many of the early "founding fathers" took brides from the local Algonquian tribe too.

How is it that Americans are so fucking ignorant about their own history? If you Yanks were any more ignorant, you'd think men can turn into women by putting on lipstick and a dress. Oh wait.

Yep. On the frontier, people tended to marry within the community, not within the ethnicity, since there was a smaller pool to choose from. This was especially true in the poorer population.
