Opinion | Jonathan A. Greenblatt: President Trump's 'go back' comment to Democratic congresswomen is outright dangerous. - NBCNewsTHINK
Comments telling people to “go back” to their countries of ancestry embrace two common racist tropes: One is the notion that immigrants to the U.S., especially immigrants of color, are somehow less worthy of being Americans. And two is the idea that people of color born in the U.S. are somehow not as “American” as white people born here.
It’s worth noting that just about every form of racism in the U.S. has been linked to nativism and immigration. In the 1960s, newly arrived immigrants of African origin entered the U.S. from the Caribbean and Africa, and their arrival was greeted against both the new immigrants and the existing African American community. Anti-Latino racism, anti-Asian racism, anti-Muslim/Middle Eastern racism — these forms of intolerance all originated in anti-immigrant backlashes.
