Irrespective of where you are reading this from, the reality remains that "We Are All Immigrants" Including President Joe Biden Of The USA
Because we are all immigrants and nothing is new under the sun, just the actors and they keep getting worse and worse around the world

Yes, America has come a long way. These days, Joe Biden who has Irish ancestry, is considered a white person. As a Catholic, he is also President of the United States, something unthinkable in the mid-19th century when Irish immigrants were not always considered "white" in the way that white Americans of Anglo-Saxon or Northern European descent were.
When large waves of Irish immigrants arrived in the U.S. during the 19th century, particularly during and after the Great Famine of the 1840s, they faced significant racial prejudice and discrimination.
That discrimination stemmed from a combination of factors, including their Catholic religion, which set them apart from the predominantly Protestant American society, their often impoverished status, and distinctive cultural practices.
The Irish were frequently depicted negatively in popular media and caricatures, and they encountered social and economic barriers designed to limit their integration into mainstream American society.
Over time, as the Irish assimilated and gained political and economic power, their racial classification shifted. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Irish in America were generally considered white, aligning more closely with broader white American identity, especially as new immigrant groups from Southern and Eastern Europe began arriving in the U.S. and faced similar challenges.
Like many other immigrant groups, Italians were often viewed with suspicion and hostility by the established American populace. Back then, many people were urging the government and police to shut the borders and ban the Irish and Italian immigrants.
We often wrongly believe that we are the first generation to face some challenges, but history continues to repeat itself for hundreds and thousands of years and will continue to be so
We can't say the slave trade has been completely eradicated as more influence of immigrants keeps entering the USA and the now president whose family were once immigrants and other political actors have outcry. Unforgettable, we are all immigrants here on earth. Join Africa Choice for more incentives
