Racial and radical anti-foreign attacks coexisted, not supplanted one another

Evidence

Compared to the common and simple attack on radical foreigners, the attack on radical races was at first a minor theme. Indeed, it did not immediately displace the older kind of race-thinking. During the eighties many Anglo-Saxonists still clung to the traditional pride and confidence in America’s powers of assimilation. Josiah Strong, for example, was still celebrating the absorptive capacities of the Anglo-Saxons after he had begun to attack the immigrants as socially disruptive. — John Higham, Strangers in the Land, 818
