First, the colonies decided not to hate on each other, which was pretty remarkable given that they were basically different religious factions and Europe had been torn apart by such factionalism during the thirty years war.
Second, American has long been a haven for immigrants fleeing conditions that were worse somewhere else, and while she wasn’t always as accepting as she should be, there is a reason they called it the land of opportunity. Try going to live anywhere else in the world where you look and sound different and you’re probably not going to be a first class citizen.
Finally, America gave up the opportunity to really hate on a lot of folks. She funded rebuilding Germany and Japan after WW2 for instance. Compare to how the Soviets treated East Germany.
It’s important to remember that the Italians and the Irish were treated as a low rung of American society not all that long ago.
They are legitimate victims of the brunt of American hate.
Is there anyone Americans haven’t hated and/or discriminated against yet? Anyone ever not been a victim of the US?
The wealthy.
Hard to discriminate against someone who can buy their way past it.
Counterpoint, CEO’s death being praised by many. Seems like hatred is an equal opportunity thing, but some are more insulated to it than others.
Counterpoint to counterpoint: the CEO was hated for being a shitty person who lead the charge in denying healthcare, not because of his wealth.
