I learned in a history class that because Einstein was an immigrant none of the US (white) colleges or universities would let him join their faculty but black colleges and universities welcomed his brilliance with open arms.
it wasn’t because Einstein was an immigrant, it was because he was Jewish
until the late 1940s most American universities including harvard and other ivy league colleges had quotas limiting the number of Jewish students and staff, Yale’s quota only ended in the 1960s
