While I agree immigration, promotions, etc should be merit based, you should know that minorities contributed their share building this nation. There were free blacks that fought in the Revolution, the Civil War, and every other war. Not to mention the Navaho codetalkers, the Tuskegee Airmen, and the 442nd (Japanese-Americans) which was the most decorated unit of the war. The Chinese who along with Irish work gangs built a shit ton of railways. Yes, whites built this nation but they had a lot of help from a lot of non-white Americans. American is American and that's all that needs to be said paleface.
