@Mixu Racism has never been based on logic. For a long time in America, being "white" meant your ancestors were British, French, or German. Italians and Eastern Europeans didn't get to join the "white" club until around the Civil Rights Movement, when racists suddenly realized that their political power was in jeopardy and started recruiting a wider circle in order to try and prevent black people from getting a political voice.
