I'm really not though. In fact thats what I'm heavily focusing on, which is "when do Americans no longer see an immigrant group as outsiders?" How do we figure that out and at what point does that happen?
There was a time the KKK was going after Italians and Greeks and a time when signs said "Irish need not apply." At what point did people in America accept all these groups as "one of us?"
When they became the larger group.
