The Germans and other (northern) Europeans all had one thing in common: their faces were white. Even the Irish were not initially regarded as being 'white' enough, but were eventually permitted to join the club of the WASP elite.
It sounds like the so-called "racism" is something natural, speak normal.
And if something is normal, then it can be considered healthy.
Potemkin wrote: Ethnic groups such as the Jews, Blacks, Latinos, Chinese, etc did not simply refuse to join that 'melting pot' out of wilful perversity, or a stubborn refusal to abandon their own cultural identities - they wanted to join the melting pot, but were excluded from it by the 'white' Americans for racial reasons.
I am not sure that Jews are an ethnic group, and that they really wanted to abandon their status of "chosen people" and become Goyim.
Those of them who really wanted to melt in the USA, became White Americans.
On the other hand, according to your definition of "racism", most Jews are "racists" themselves, because you cannot join their group, it is a club of chosen, based on a believed special ancestry.
The same with the Chinese, if you go to China, you will be a foreigner, you will never be accepted as an equal, because of your race.
The same with Africa, look what happens in South Africa! Are they colour blind? No, of course not!
As we see, you cannot just force people into an invented identity, the identity has to be natural and visible, and racial and religious differences are natural things an identity is based upon.
Neither Jews, nor Chinese, nor Black Africans are called "racists", tough they behave similar to white people. It seems that the word "racism" in the Orwellian language is just used as a buzz word against white Christians.

You are talking about the Zionist Israel Zangwill, he had written his "melting pot" in 1909.
And look what this guy advocated in 1916 for Jews:
According to Ze'ev Jabotinsky, Zangwill told him in 1916 that, "If you wish to give a country to a people without a country, it is utter foolishness to allow it to be the country of two peoples. This can only cause trouble. The Jews will suffer and so will their neighbours. One of the two: a different place must be found either for the Jews or for their neighbours".[26]
...
In 1921 Zangwill wrote "If Lord Shaftesbury was literally inexact in describing Palestine as a country without a people, he was essentially correct, for there is no Arab people living in intimate fusion with the country, utilizing its resources and stamping it with a characteristic impress: there is at best an Arab encampment...

As we see, this hypocrite advocated race mixing in the USA (I think because of his atavistic hate against White Christians), and at the same time advocated ethnic cleansing in Palestine, he did not like the idea about the Jewish State becoming a Melting Pot, he did not want any race mixing with Arabs, who are maybe more Semitic and more related to the ancient Hebrews, than the mixed descendants of Slavs and Khazars who claim that they have a special ancestry that can be traced back to Palestine.
Potemkin wrote:To most Jews at that time, it was a desired but unattainable ideal rather than a concept which they stubbornly rejected, as you would have it. You are rewriting history to fit your own racist beliefs.
That is total BS!
You base your worldview not on historical facts, but on propaganda literature or Hollywood pictures.
Jews could easily become part of European Christian societies even back in Europe!
That was the dream of Christians!
Jews were a privileged group in Christian societies, and this had religious reasons.
Pagans were persecuted and killed, if they refused to convert to Christianity.
Jews were "the people of the book", according to the Christian doctrine, Jews would eventually accept Jesus Christ.
In some countries Jews were forced to convert to Christianity, speak they were forced to melt, like it was the case in Andalusia.
And Jews still whine about it, though it was just about melting.
They say that Luther was a "Jew hater", but he just advocated a forced conversion of Jews to Christianity, he wanted that Jews melted in Christian Europe, and Jews refused to melt.
The same was the case in the USA, those Jews that wanted to melt in this melting pot, could easily do this. Christianity is not based on the blood line (speak race), like it is the case with Judaism.
In fact, the Jewish holiday Hanukkah is dedicated to a massacre, committed by Jewish Zealots against Jews, who wanted to melt in the Greek society.
Hanukkah today: The battle against assimilation
"Christianity, since its establishment, seeks to convert Jews. They see this as very important, as an important ideal, and invest a lot of resources and money in it."
"The methods were varied throughout history," he explained, noting that tactics have changed from the forced conversions of the Middle Ages to "highly sophisticated" movements such as so-called "Messianic Judaism" and Jews for Jesus.

However, in 175 BC, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, the son of Antiochus III, invaded Judea, at the request of the sons of Tobias.[22] The Tobiads, who led the Hellenizing Jewish faction in Jerusalem, were expelled to Syria around 170 BC when the high priest Onias and his pro-Egyptian faction wrested control from them. The exiled Tobiads lobbied Antiochus IV Epiphanes to recapture Jerusalem.

Some modern scholars argue that the king was intervening in an internal civil war between the Maccabean Jews and the Hellenized Jews in Jerusalem.[27][28][29]
[30]
...
In particular, Jason's Hellenistic reforms would prove to be a decisive factor leading to eventual conflict within the ranks of Judaism.[32]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah#Story
The Tobiads were a Jewish faction in Ammon at the beginning of the Maccabean period. They were phil-Hellene, in other words supporters of the Hellenistic tendencies in Judaism in the early years of the 2nd century BCE.

As we see, the Hellenistic world was an open world, everybody could melt and become a member of this world, and many Jews did it.
But the Jewish Zealots rebelled against this "melting" and killed those Jews that melted into the Greek society.
And this massacre against hellenized Jews is an important Jewish holiday.
And you have the nerve to say that Jews wanted to melt into the American Melting pot, but were not permitted?
Some Jews say that melting into the host societies is as bad, as Holocaust!
At a conference in Budapest, one of Israel’s top rabbis has said that high assimilation rates among European Jews were “worse than the Holocaust”.

As we see, only non-Jews have to lose their identities and do race mixing in a Melting Pot. If they resist, then they are called "racists".
But Jews themselves are eager to preserve their supposedly special blood line and their culture, this is not racism, this is just their "right to exist".
