#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

We almost completely shut them in 24.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

Opened in 65.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

And we've had huge numbers of immigrants flowing in.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

Yeah.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

These immigrants who have been flowing in since 65 are not Europeans.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

They're not mainly Europeans.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

They're mainly Hispanics and Asians.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

If you look at those Hispanics and Asians, they're integrating into the American mainstream at a much faster and more effective clip than was the case with those immigrants who came in in the 19th century and early 20th century.

#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

The Irish, oh my God, you know, they were treated horribly.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

There's a book, a very famous book that's been written called When the Irish Became White.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

Right.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

Just think about the title of that book.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

There was discrimination against all these groups, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

And the worst discrimination, of course, was against Chinese Americans, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

But we've gotten much better.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

And what we should do moving forward is redouble our efforts to integrate immigrants into the American mainstream, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

you know, Hispanics, you know, Asians of all sorts, because the fact is that America is rapidly reaching the point where it's not going to be an all-white country, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

I have five children, and two of my children are, I was a Generation Z, Gen Z. Gen Z is the last majority white

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

generation, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#401 – John Mearsheimer: Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, China, NATO, and WW3

Subsequent generations are not majority white.
