[quote BigGuynRusty][quote lafinfil]As he was pointing out, we (the USA) had in the past treated many of it's lesser poorly.

One can only guess RGnR is being facetious, though "lesser" isn't the best word choice, seemed clear enough to me that he meant "less fortunate" (disadvantaged, etc.) and there's no question that American history has plenty of contradictions here.
How charitable and generous we are, how well we as a society treat the less fortunate (poor, hungry, sick, elderly, disadvantaged etc.) is more of a moral and social question than a legal or political one.
