In fin de siècle France, there was a retreat to metaphysics by leftists in the face of the ruthless empiricism of Vacher de Lapouge Ferdinand Brunetière was the precursor to modern postliberals, retreating to religion out of a fear of Nature

The British Governor of Jerusalem from 1917-1926 described how even those sympathetic to Jews were viciously attacked and subject to cancellation campaigns if they deviated even slightly from Zionist demands. They ran the same advertisement boycotts that the ADL does now
The High Commissioner of Palestine (a Zionist himself) gave a speech reassuring Arabs that they would not be replaced, Jewish immigrants would be limited and would work with Arabs to develop the nation for everyone.

The Zionist Congress denounced the speech within 2 months

Non-linear ethnic niches will be one of the most important concepts to understand in an increasingly diverse society.

One historian wrote in 1944 that "in the campaign against the Japanese is found the most spectacular manifestation of California's rugged individualism"

In the early 1900s, white farmers complained that Japanese formed ethnic associations to purchase materials in bulk, allowing them to negotiate lower prices

Four myths about the 60s riots:

1. Only a tiny fraction of blacks participated
2. The vast majority of blacks disapproved
3. Blacks perceived it as a meaningless event
4. Blacks expected white retaliation
"Participation in and support of riots in the black communities are hardly positions of a small minority of malcontents. A large proportion of Negro citizens regard the riots as a legitimate protest against the actions of the whites"

The US-AUS alliance in WWII and the Cold War was based on a shared Anglo-Saxon race. The Australian PM spoke to Congress in 1950, where he said “Americans are not foreigners in Australia.”

There is an absurd amount of kino from this period, so let's share some stories: In the early 20th century, both the US and AUS had systems of racial domination: in the US, Jim Crow, in AUS, White Australia. A booklet prepared for AUS soldiers in WWII stated, "To the principle of ‘White Australia’ all political parties in the British Commonwealth subscribe."

Given the discussion of amnesty for illegal farm workers in the past few months, I think it's worth revisiting this article from a 2001 issue of Foreign Affairs.

TL;DR: there is nothing more permanent than temporary workers.

Here's the highlights: Back in 2001 there were negotiations between Bush and the Mexican president (who referred to illegal migrants as 'heroes') on creating a guest worker program in order to regularize illegals status and benefit the agricultural industry.

With the CRS discourse on the TL, I think it's time to post some anecdotes that I've been sitting on from former mediators. There are some crazy stories here: In the 1970s, 150 Vietnamese refugees ended up in a small coastal town in Texas. They proceeded to ignore both the law and local custom and overfished many areas. They would find a good fishing spot and then invite their whole community to fish it until nothing was left

“As surely as water finds its own level, so surely will the transfer of industries and wealth, first to America and then to Eastern Asia, be the necessary sequel to the European labour movement.” “The working-man seems to have resolved to make himself comfortable by…looting the accumulations of Queen Victoria’s reign, and living on the rates and taxes.  He will have, I think, a short life and a merry one, and his children’s teeth will be set on edge.”
