Does white America suffer from both inferiority and superiority complexes?

Come November, Floridians will vote to eradicate a provision of their State Constitution that went into effect in 1926. It's called the "Alien Land Law" and it prohibits anyone ineligible for citizenship from owning property. (Source: modernmechanix.com) It was directed squarely at Asian immigrants.

Proponents for wanting to get rid of the archaic law say that the language used to define who is ineligible is entirely based on race and therefore is "patently unconstitutional" and as such, repulsive to current-day Floridians. In describing why the law was passed in the first place, Senate Minority Leader Steve Geller, D-Hallandale Beach, said that at that time white America had both "an inferiority complex and a superiority complex" about Asian immigrants. Eighty-two years later, it's sad to see that little has changed and that white America still wrestles with both ends of the complex spectrum.
