message: Bio section states: "he was a proponent of imperialism (see Lodge Committee for further explanation). " however no further explanation exists there - only repeated use of the label. Marcopolo27 14:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Henry Cabot Lodge supported the invasion of the Phillipines in the Phillipine-American War. There were what was called Imperialists (those who supported the war) and Anti-imperialists (those who did not)--may historians use these terms. Travb (talk) 17:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lodge as imperialist in this article 

message: The article contains the following statement:
:Throughout his career, Lodge would be a vocal proponent of the superiority of the Anglo-Saxon race.
For support, it cited the web page: PBS - American Experience: Woodrow Wilson | People.  However, that page does not in any way support the claim, so I replaced the citation with .  Does anyone know of any source that supports this?
While Lodge certainly supported restrictions on immigration, particularly from countries other than England and Ireland, it is my impression that it was based more on society and government, rather than race.

thread_title:  Citation on Racial Beliefs 

message: The current version of the Immigration section may be misleading. It starts by euphemistically describing his concerns about immigrants' education level and so forth, and ends with his thoughts on race (which I tacked on, rather than rewrite). I must say I find it kind of funny that the euphemistic version hasn't been challenged even though it doesn't have any inline citations, and yet the original statement that he was a racist was challenged, as though it were somehow not totally predictable that an old-money Boston WASP in the 19th century believed some races were inferior. Of course he did. (I'm sure he despised the Irish, too, and Catholics in general; it would be weird if he didn't.) Racism was not his only reason for supporting immigration restrictions, but it was certainly a factor.
It's also overlong, with some unneeded (and uncited) quotes and redundant text. I'd like to propose the following rewrite:--MopTop (talk) 20:13, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
