Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in. The Trump administration has hailed the exodus—negative net migration—as the fulfillment of its promise to ramp up deportations and restrict new visas.

Colonial legacy. One has to remember Europeans spent the 1800s and much of the early 1900s dabbling in “were civilized, they’re not” brainrot ie. phrenology, race “science”, eugenics, forced sterilization and most Western education essentially ignores the cultural legacy of white supremacy. Some Western countries (including the US) continued race based apartheid into the mid to late 1900s. It’s why Western countries can never seem to completely shake Nazism. To a degree it’s imbued into their very foundations.
