Very true. The US has been, from the very outset, guilty of immigrant bashing (Alien & Sedition Act of 1798), excessive force against the nonviolent (countless massacres of Native people from the 1620s onward), mass hysteria (the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692-3), racism (since the 1620s), misogyny and an all for me, the hell with you attitude including and, most prominently, the age of the robber barons from 1865-1910 as well as the rule by white heterosexual males from the beginning.
