Casual reminder that the “America is a nation of immigrants” rhetoric
a) erases Natives and their history
b) erases African-Americans and the history of the slave trade and
c) frames European settlers and settlement through a benevolent immigrant perspective instead of a violent colonialist perspective, which is another form of erasure and history revisionism.
Other than art, math, history, reading and writing? Depending on your high school take any class that makes you be creative, speak in public, and learn to use different graphic softwares.
