...and no I don't care how many generations they've been here. They're not American.
That's going to be tricky. How are you defining American?
I'd consider anyone descended from a line of three generations of citizens to be an American, excluding "refugees", anchor babies, or anyone descended from illegal immigrants.
Let's kick out all the ones that definitely aren't.
When we run out of those we can start worrying about the edge cases.
I agree with that much.
Under my system Nikki Ramalamadingong wouldn't be American. She doesn't have to go home but she can't stay here.
He means whites. The originators of America.
Pretty much.
I'm tired of sharing my country with people who hate me and who are different from me.

The white immigrants of the late 1800s and early 1900s also caused problems. Irish gangs, Italian mobs, even the Germans caused mischief. And let's not forget a certain group that looks white but claims that it isn't...
What you mean is Anglos and people like the Anglos. The northernmost European peoples.
Fun fact: Benjamin Franklin once referred to Germans and Swedes as "swarthy" (you can guess what he meant in a more modern parlance) and didn't like them moving to the u.s.
I just had this conversation with a couple of kids who recently received their American citizenship. I told them, flat out, that citizenship doesn't make you an American.
But, the caveat is, it's actually easy to be an American. All you have to do is say, I'm an American, the USA is the best place to live, and I just want to be left alone to run my own life.
It's easier in Europe, because the population that belongs here is actually native.
Start with "does your last name show up in the Civil War service records" and then we can narrow it down more from there.
