Loyalty to Empire.

- Abstract
If particular Asians were ever deemed worthy and deserving of state protection, others were deemed unworthy and deserving only of state violence.[11] Racial inclusion and racial exclusion, state protection and state violence, operated hand-in-hand. In May 2003, shortly after George W. Bush launched the US invasion of Iraq, Arundhati Roy and Howard Zinn held a public conversation at the Riverside Church in Harlem, the site of Martin Luther King Jr.'s remarkable speech against the Vietnam War back in April 1967. Zinn hoped to direct America toward its progressive traditions and inclusive ends; Roy saw no hope in America because it was an empire terrorizing the world. "The history of America is essentially the story of immigrants", he had concluded, "and many of them, coming from a "different shore" than their European brethren, had sailed east to this new world.... Their dreams and hopes... have been making history in America."[5] The notion that the United States is a "nation of immigrants" is, of course, a social construct.
