Medved is the movie reviewer, he's also stridently to the right.

Why the link to the Ellis Island page? Yes, there were lots of laws that codified bigotry and discrimination, but you'd be better off linking to an essay or some other site, rather than sending someone to that page, because they're not going to make an issue like that really easy to find. I worked at Ellis for the NPS (not for the foundation, who runs that site) leading tours, many years ago now, and they didn't like it then when we talked about it. I'm sure they still don't like it. (We used the get letters from angry visitors, accusing us of being unAmerican if we talked about the legal discrimination practices at Ellis and other immigrant processing stations).
