I found it amusing the woman painting over the black and white photos that were over 100 years old. The action reflects her neurosis more than any need to correct the past. As soon as she said she was from California I knew where this segment was headed.

@generalripper7528 The United States was always multi-ethnic, as the U.S. became more multi-racial conflicts started up. California became a fountainhead for this problem. Anyway, she went to Germany instead of back to India which would have made more sense. Eileen Gu is another example of this sort of thinking, a resident of San Francisco who has a good life went to the Olympics to represent China and basked in the praise of the Chinese Communist Party (while getting some fat endorsement checks).

Looks like the Germans are starting to enjoy all the benefits of diversity. Have fun folks.

In the South Pacific the United States still has in trust several ex German territories handed over to the U.S. through the League Of Nations after World War 1. They are essentially welfare clients. Maybe the Germans should be forced to take the islands back. The natives are still friendly. I guess if you measure from Maine to the South Seas Islands the U.S. has in trust the U.S. must be the world's longest nation.

@generalripper7528 Afro-Americans were free in the North. The United States had Jews and nationalities from all parts of Europe and the "Native" Americans also were part of society. You did have free born blacks and blacks who had slaves and American Indians that had slaves. You had a real mix. Even in it's colonial state the U.S. had all kinds of people wandering around with all kinds of social status.
