Slavery and the Constitution

[CFLarsen]

In any event, a cursory reading of Danish immagration law clearly shows that whiter is righter today. I suspect that there is a reason for that and it does not have to do with equality.

A closer inspection would reveal that this is not true. The immigration laws deal with all nationalities outside the EU. Far from all foreigners come from "non-white" countries, e.g.:

Iceland: 6,039
Norway: 10,597
Russia: 2,836
USA: 4,435

All of these countries are also included in the legislation.

Everyone was racist in the 18th century. How does attacking the character of these men with modern sensabilities effect the validity of their argument?

You can't make a blanket statement that everyone in the 18th century was racist; I know of at least one person who was demonstrably not racist. You could make a case for the majority, though.
