My comment on The Times article US plans to exclude immigrants, 8 December 1920, reprinted in the 8 December 2020 edition. Polish version: Wykluczenie w USA 1920.
I think it is interesting in this context to remind the readers of the situation of e.g. black Americans in the United States at the time. I recommend reading “Black on Red: My Forty Four Years Inside the Soviet Union” by Robert Robinson.
“The author, a toolmaker who accepted a one-year contract to work in the Soviet Union in 1930 and lived there, mostly against his will, for the next forty-four years”
Robert Robinson was a well qualified technician but, due to racism, could not count on having a job in the US. He was a man of great personal integrity. The book is very interesting.
With a background of slavery, United States had its huge racial problem. Great Britain and other European powers had their colonies. Large number of people in Europe supported totalitarian ideologies. Quite often, those discriminated against in one area supported another state’s terror.
