There was obviously negative sentiment towards various European groups, but they were always considered "white".


Quote from the article:

> Slavic peoples were considered to be people of an "inferior race" who were unable to assimilate into American society.[4] They were originally not considered to be "fully white" (and thus fully American), and Slavic peoples' "whiteness" continues to be a debate to this day, but most people consider them to be of Caucasian culture


The citations for this are horrible if you follow them.

edit:

One of them is just some 24 minute movie.

The other is false. The Immigration Act of 1924 did not establish any category of "inferior" races or countries.
