All Types of Social Inadequacy
This graph was created by Harry Laughlin in 1922 and can be found in the Harry Laughlin paper's source. This graph is trying to depict a link between "social inadequacies" and nationalities/ethnic groups. This and other studies were used to justify exclusionary immigration laws. However, the data trying to show that some groups had a disproportionate number of people deemed socially inadequate were highly flawed.
