1. This is not true, the main settlers of United States came from either Britain, France or Spain all of which have related caucasian origins ...
2. I have no opinion on this but there are many others who would disagree since their so proud of their heritage ... Before American settlers declared independence they used to be subjects of the British monarchy and in just the 12 short years of the revolution those 13 colonies became the most powerful and greatest nation on earth on their day of independence and was the experiment of a new republic ... America is one of the nations to both achieve absolute independence by force and evolve to become democratic too so that might very well be something to be proud of ...
3. Most of those immigrants didn't come here for a better life since each of these nations underwent industrialization at nearly the same time, they came because they wanted a republican state to avoid monarchies. It's the same reason why the constituents in France shortly took after to America's example and proceeded in the name of achieving a republican state ... (the same happened later on for many other western european nations) 4. That is also not true, the vast majority of americans today are direct descendents ... (those immigrants also had to have sooner or later had offsprings with desecendants of those settlers making their childrens also direct descendents too in the end going by the numbers) |
Most white Americans cannot trace their lineage to 1775 (American indepedence):
That means even their families at some point were immigrants here.
Industrialization doesn't change anything, there were plenty of Irish, Italians, Dutch, Germans, French, etc. that came to America looking for better oppurtunity. Kinda the same reason Mexican people come today. Hell, Trump's own family does not extend very far back in the US, his grandfather came to the US in the 1800s ... look for (you guessed it) better oppurtunities to raise his family in.
There's always been several million Mexicans in America from the point that California, New Mexico, Utah, (basically the entire West Coast) etc. became states ... these people were there before anyone else already as that was Mexico to begin with. The border was redrawn around where they already lived, they didn't immigrate anywhere.
On top of that 25% of the population in the very first census (circa 1776) were African American slaves who basically built much of the nation. That means even in the 1700s, the US already had a larger portion of a non-white population than many multicultural European countries do today. And then you had Chinese laborers too. So America has always been a multi-ethnic settler nation.
