How I turn people against me
As a general rule of thumb, people don't like immigrants. So how does one account for the rise of nativism in the 1920s? Well, originally the immigrants went unnoticed. Like when you see an ant crawling around your house. You think, "Well, it's one ant, I probably just brought it in on my shoe. There's no way this could be something bad." So you leave it alone. A few day later you turn around and there's a whole trail of ants coming in from Europe. Instead of saying, "Welcome, ants, eat my food, enjoy my liberty take my job," you go to the cabinet to get the bug spray.
And it was that slightly less well-thought-out idea that made my history class mad at me.
I thought it was a legitimate point.
