You really have to wonder if it was a master plan of sorts. Dividing and conquering. we see it today with the villification of Mexicans and people of Middle Eastern descent. It was done with the Irish immigrants that came here and were willing to work for less. Also the immigrants from China who worked on the railroads. Always, always, always, people becoming prejudiced based on fear of economic conditions.
