Un articolo di Adam Serwer su BuzzFeed parla del linciaggio di New Orleans del 1891, mettendo in luce alcune affinità del dibattito politico negli Stati Uniti di allora e di oggi riguardo al tema dell’immigrazione

Then, as today, many Americans greeted the new immigrants with alarm, fearing that they were losing their country to foreigners.
