"Many people forget that there was a time in this country when Irish, Italian, and Jewish immigrants were not considered white. They were described as racially inferior, excluded from neighborhoods and universities. Many were caricatured,
criminalized, and viewed in a less-than-favorable manner. They were not immediately absorbed into the category of "white" for quite some time."

"Whiteness needed numbers and stability to
survive. But more importantly, whiteness needed to maintain political dominance in a country where Black Americans had just been emancipated and were fighting for citizenship, land, education, and voting rights. So to preserve its position, whiteness widened its circle, not out of generosity, but out of self-preservation."
