It is always interesting to see when it is acknowledged that the settlers and US of 50+ years ago were predominantly white, versus when that fact is refuted or buried. For example here, when the topic is colonialism, the article does not hesitate in effectively calling them all white. But when it was about WWII veterans in Rhode Island (98.1% white in the 1950s [1] - a fact neither the article nor the university so much as hint at), portraying them as almost all white is "not representing who we are today and representing the true diversity of [University of Rhode Island] today" [2].

They want the credit for building the US, but leave the guilt for whites.
