United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind: On Gaining Citizenship & Losing Identity

Marina Hsieh

It’s a real privilege to become a United States citizen, and I’m not sure how many American-born people realize what immigrants give up – both physically and symbolically – and how grateful they are to become citizens. That’s why it stings when throughout history, American-ness has been conflated with whiteness, and this sentiment lingers to this very day.
