The US is more accepting because the overwhelming majority of Americans are either immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. Natives (Indians, Eskimos, and Hawaiians) constitute less than 2% of the population of the United States; this is unprecedented. We are a nation of immigrants. Granted, the US has often been hostile towards immigrants-especially immigrants who were not Western European and Protestant.
