I mean Lebensraum was just the Nazi version of Manifest Destiny.

The Nazi's great crime, in the eyes of other Europeans, wasn't that they did all that stuff, it's they did it to other white people

    America was also racist against white people (such as the Irish) once upon a time.

    USA only supported prohibition when it was sold to voters as a measure against European immigrants from Ireland, Germany and Italy.

    You want to do anything in the USA politically, just target immigrants.
