The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

They are right. One heritage would be ludicrous if it wasn't so chilling. For about 40 years we only let Western Euros in, but we stopped that. Stephen Miller?

"Stephen Miller (the political advisor) is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, with family roots tracing back to Eastern European Jewish immigrants who fled Russian pogroms and persecution to come to America, making his background one of refugee heritage."

Nefster:

"The U.S. restricted Eastern European immigration primarily through the Immigration Acts of the 1920s (especially 1924), driven by post-WWI fears of radicalism (communism/anarchism), economic anxieties, and a rise in nativism, with a goal to preserve America's "homogeneity" by favoring Northern Europeans through national origin quotas. This era saw a backlash against Southern and Eastern Europeans, who were seen as culturally different and less desirable, influenced by racial theories and economic competition."

The question is - do we pull back out of this or continue descending?
