You might want to consider World-Systems Theory as a good starting point. Workers in the imperial core do not experience the same kind of exploitation as people in the periphery. The USA is a high-income country.
And nothing lasts forever. Nothing is necessarily so. We are in the midst of a massive global paradigm shift. Multipolarity is on the rise. Things are changing everywhere fast.
Settlers by J Sakai is a brilliant expose of American settler-colonial culture and vital history book that attempts to answer this question, but if you decide to give it a read, I would advise you not to draw too many hard and fast conclusions about its contents. Discussions about this book get explosive because they touch on very sensitive racial tensions, and a lot of people get very ridiculous about the whole thing.
Read Settlers by J Sakai, the entire book addresses this one question for white USians.
Also, zak cope, especially divided world divided class.

I highly doubt most local libraries carry a copy of Settlers. Where are you seeing this?
At home in Belarus, and my time traveling and living in the Northeast and West Coast of the United States. I spend a lot of time in the political science part of libraries and I see it pretty commonly. Maybe not all small local libraries will carry it, but starting from a medium sized library, to large ones, its pretty common.
I have also never not seen Settlers in a university library, which are open to the public where I have been.
