When I was a kid in school what got thrown into the melting pot were white 
Europeans. Until 1965 that was how the immigration laws were structured. 
The deep south was segregated de jure and the north was segregated de 
facto outside of the public schools.

Ashley Montagu, nee Israel Ehrenberg, had only begun to spread the 'race 
is a social construct' lie in 'Man's Most Dangerous Myth: the Fallacy of 
Race.'  He authored the UNESCO proclamations on race almost 
singlehandedly. He also wrote 'The Natural Superiority of Women'. 

Meanwhile Boas was destroying anthropology. I have the chronology wrong 
since Ruth Benedict, Boas' student, was Montagu's thesis supervisor for 
his doctorate at Columbia.
