Inter-racial fear could eclipse national loyalty even among nativist writers

Evidence

Stoddard was Grant’s leading disciple. Unlike most of the new racist intellectuals, however, his main preoccupation concerned the rapid multiplication of the yellow and brown races and the danger —spectacularly stated in 1920 in The Rising Tide of Color—that they would soon overwhelm the whole white world. His disillusion with the outcome of the World War took the form of a belief that it was actually a civil war which had vitally impaired white solidarity. Consequently Stoddard was hardly a nationalist at all in any explicit sense. — John Higham, Strangers in the Land, 1642
