I'm close to that but I want African Americans and Mexican-Americans to be more like Italian-Americans or Greek-Americans or Indian-Americans. Have a cultural fest, maybe have a parade, take the kids to see the old country, but at the end of the day you're an American and you're treated as such. No substantive difference from any other American.
I think removing dei/affirmative action is one step to that process but also things like improving policing and K-12 education resources.
Dagoes/Wops/Guineas were treated like crap when they moved to NY from Italy and Sicily, especially the olive/brown skinned Sicilians. No one would hire them above the lighter skinned Europeans brought in to work in factories, because the insutrialists didn't want to hire blacks moving up from the south. Some Sicilians moved into organized crime to make a living.
Irish immigrants (Micks) were discriminated against as punks, drunks, and worst of all Catholics.. There were laws that banned hiring of Irish. Many were bonded with lifetime debt. The destitute parents hoped that one son might be a policeman, and the other a priest, because the 3rd son was in a gang. Micks were unhireable.
Trump's family hated them all, just like Archie Bunker and from the same area of OG Queens. They (Italians, Irish, black) "poisoned the blood." Then the Puerto Ricans moved in!
