How does lodge's understanding of race drive his enthusiasm for immigration restrictions?​

Lodge’s understanding of race was that he was part of the superior race. He believed that white people, or as he called it, the “English-speaking race” were inherently better than other races.

He thought that if minorities were allowed to assimilate into American culture that it would “bring down” the white race that already dominated America. From the way he talked about different races, it seems like he believed that different races should all be part of different classes and that God only favored white people.

He obviously had a flawed understanding of race, but many people at this time did.His prejudice and belief of superiority is what drove his passion for restricting immigration even further. He believed that by restricting people who could not read from entering the country, mostly only northern Europeans would be able to immigrate, which is who he preferred.
