The United States was founded on white nationalist principles

"White nationalism is simply the notion that whites should be the vast majority in the countries founded by them." Nothing about "multiracialism". Slaves were part of a country's population. And also gave the south more votes. Look at Haiti before the revolution (before slave revolts were a major fear). Heck, look at any Caribbean country. You see a lot of black people. Guess who brought them there? Slave owners. So unless you consider importing slaves until you're the racial minority a "white nationalist" principle, you don't really have a leg to stand on. And yes, those slave owners were racists. But "tolerance" and "diversity" are nowhere in your definition of white nationalism, and I can't imagine alt right thinkers like Richard Spencer and Jared Taylor (self described white nationalists) liking the importation of large numbers of black slaves. But that's not even your definition, your definition was focused solely on population, and it would really hurt your argument to change your definition of white nationalism after my first argument attacked it. You say I fail to provide evidence they believed in "multi-racialism" and not only is that not the definition of the argument, but I'm simply the con. You made the claim that America is founded on white nationalist principles, and you're the one supposed to cite sources in your favor. If you can find evidence then it's my job to refute. Otherwise, we are assuming you're right unless I can provide counter evidence. The naturalization acts are based solely around citizenship, and thus things like the vote. Plenty of people lived in the US without being citizens. As a white nationalist, are you only concerned about the citizenship numbers? Because I don't know how many illegal immigrants want citizenship, but if white nationalists don't care about them unless they do... But knowing of white nationalist arguments means I know you guys don't like immigrants that aren't white at all. And that has nothing to do with naturalization. I agree the founders were not champions of diversity, at least most weren't, but that wasn't the argument. The argument was about whether they believed the majority of the population should be white. And I'm saying there's no evidence that that was a specifically-held belief. Slave owners wanted more slaves. And they didn't want racial minorities to vote (by the way, there wasn't any "white nation" belief back then. Italians and the Irish were seen as racially inferior, so there wasn't even a sense of being "white" as much as there was a sense of being "French" or "English". And for Americans, that meant they saw themselves as very diverse. Many writers noted how ethnically mixed Americans were-- English, Scottish, German... There wasn't an overall racial identity, that wouldn't exist as we know it today until later. Where we get to a point that actually fits the argument is when you talk about immigration, and it's true that outside of naturalization, American history has bias against other races in terms of immigration. But that wasn't at its founding, the periods of massive immigration like from China weren't until much later. Even if you include naturalization, the New England states, the ones most likely to favor majority white population in my view, tended to be Federalist, and Federalists restricted ALL naturalization because immigrants tended to be Democratic-Republicans. So again, not a solid love of "white" immigrants. My conclusion is that, while diversity wasn't a major principle at the time, neither was consciously avoiding a large black population. I guess the only other race they would have been involved with were Natives, but the history of chasing them out of the US is very complicated and can't be simplified to "we don't like them because they're brown".
