America committed ethnic cleansing against Elian

[ChotooMotoo]

Ethnic cleansing against Mexicans and Chinese? By ethnic cleansing do you mean genocide or the forced "melting pot" thing that happened 1850-1960 whereby every immigrant group was fairly well forced to abandon their cultural heritage/language/etc?

The only institutional ethnic cleansing I'm aware of was against Native Americans, and there is no shortage of documentation on that subject.

Thus, any scrutiny of American foreign policy should take its historical expansionism into consideration.

If you checked out some of the articles that were posted, Chinese were attacked by vigilante groups and driven from over 200 American cities in the North and the West of the countries.

The Mexicans that were kicked out were US citizens, not illegals, that were kicked out during the Great Depression. It wasn't necessarily done violently, but just because its under the color of law doesn't stop it from being ethnic cleansing.

Also, African Americans were driven out of towns as well, usually while local law enforcement authorities either participated in or just looked away.

Trust me, no one in law school speaks like me. While I was in school, I read about 15 to 25 non-school related books in addition to my basic learning curriculum.

You do get a lot of legalese, but you'll pick it up along the way.

The only advice I'd give you is not to apply to law school unless you really want it. Its not as hyped up as people make it out to be. Why do you want to go to law school if you don't mind my asking?

I don't know if you want to delve into this kind of speculation, but the war on drugs & current racial makeup of the prison populace are potentially relevant here.
