dc.description.abstract	The article provides a portrait of three different groups of immigrants in America: the Hebrews (or Jews), the Magyars, and the "Levantine Races." McLaughlin is not very positive towards the immigrants from the Levant; he calls them "scum" and says that they "are so far below all others in the matter of desirability that they are in a class by themselves." McLaughlin's descriptions of Levantine immigrants show the classic characteristics of Orientalism, racism, white supremacy, and their intersections with scholarship in America.	en_US
