Thinking on it, it may have been a way to crypto-refer to different white backgrounds, doing a mini-racism inside whiteness

Benjamin Franklin's essays on why Germans aren't white are absolutely wild reads. People in 1760 had such raw unfiltered racism swirling in their brains

amerikkka "Ben Franklin was so intelligent"

Ben Franklin:

Those who come hither are generally of the most ignorant Stupid Sort of their own Nation, and as Ignorance is often attended with Credulity when Knavery would mislead it, and with Suspicion when Honesty would set it right; and as few of the English understand the German Language, and so cannot address them either from the Press or Pulpit, ’tis almost impossible to remove any prejudices they once entertain. Their own Clergy have very little influence over the people; who seem to take an uncommon pleasure in abusing and discharging the Minister on every trivial occasion. Not being used to Liberty, they know not how to make a modest use of it; and as Kolben says of the young Hottentots, that they are not esteemed men till they have shewn their manhood by beating their mothers, so these seem to think themselves not free, till they can feel their liberty in abusing and insulting their Teachers.

The founding fathers were just extra racist "I just wanna grill" guys.

If he was based, the critique could've been pretty impressive for its time. But unfortunately it's just cracker on cracker violence
