there are just some really ugly things about American national myth which play right into what's going on now. While slums and sweatshops full of immigrants plug right into our myths about just plain folk versus the wealthy steamrollering liberties, I'd wonder if the "everyone's welcome and can be equal here, even us" mythology was way more a thing for my family than for the southerners I grew up with; that differing versions of American myth is part of why I'm not MTG (same home state).
