That status has been reached a long time ago already.
Core point here was pointing out a cascade of things which should make clear for every naive that doesn't know or believe it that the US is that he knows these days isn't more than just a modern invention. One could even say "illusion". The very things in this country sometimes even had been the other way around. If they are "friendly" (on the outside banner) towards a certain group of people today, follow the trace back, you'll find that once they had been totally the opposite of that. Totally hostile. And it's just not only talking about the race conflict or whatever identity politics pick.
By the way, do you know why so many Jews ended up in the occupation of professions that have to do with administering money? As far as I know, that's a result of processes having taken place many, many centuries ago. Christians aren't supposed to charge other Christians interest. So they picked the Jews to do those jobs 'cause they are no fellow Christians. In former centuries, Jews had been a group of people anyway that faced social exclusion and hostility, that haven't been let into jobs like everyone else, so this even was good fodder for the system to recognize that this group of people can be pressed into a certain group of occupations because they're useful for it in a certain way. This is how it came to this...
