Who is an American?
In their desperation, they keep doing the meme and aren't beating the allegations. (Incoming community note)
An American, as defined by our Founding Fathers, is a free White person of good moral character.
Better yet, who isn't an American? Indians
United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind, 261 U.S. 204 (1923), decided February 19, 1923, was unanimous. Justice George Sutherland wrote the opinion:
Singh argued that he was a White person because he was Caucasian (wasn't).
SCOTUS held that “free white persons” meant the common understanding of white, not the ethnologists’ category “Caucasian,” and that this common meaning did not include “the body of people to whom the appellee belongs.” A Hindu of full Indian blood was therefore not eligible to naturalize.
That ruling was never overturned.
Back to his tweet...
The skull in this image is Peruvian.
Some late-19th and early-20th-century nativists and writers did use skull shape (the cephalic index) to rank Europeans as Nordic, Alpine, or Mediterranean, and treated southern and eastern Europeans as less fit to assimilate, ZERO to do with intelligence or "retardation."
It was a faction of Anglo-American scientists, and politicians, not “Anglo Saxons."
Moral of the story: America was founded on European stock, very intentionally.
The Founders, the early scientifists, SCOTUS upheld that certain Non White people had lower intelligence, poor character, criminal tendency, or weak assimilability.
Here we are. Look around.
Side Bar Addressing Retardation:
America IQ: 100 India IQ 76
The average IQ cutoff for retardation in the US in 1973 was 85. Due to certain groups and immigration, that threshold was dropped to 70.
The dumbing down of America. Erosion. Not by the fault of White Europeans.
WHO IS AN AMERICAN? It’s is worth recalling that Anglo Saxons in the 19th and early 20th century used craniology—skull measurements—to prove that Italians, Irish, Poles and Eastern Europeans were functionally retarded and could not become American.
