Quote for the Day:

A peek into the darker corners of American history tells us that this phenomenon has not been restricted to Asians. Eliminationist rhetoric, followed and accompanied by an actual campaign of often violent eliminationism, has infused the most shameful episodes of our history as a nation: the destruction of the Native American peoples; the subjugation of African Americans from slavery to Jim Crow—the lynching era and “sundown towns”; and the nativist anti-immigrant campaigns of various eras that targeted ethnic minorities—from the Irish to the Germans to the Italians and the Asians, and today, the Latinos. It lives today in the form of hate crimes and hateful rhetoric directed against gays and lesbians, Muslims, and various other minorities.
