Explanation

In the 1920s, immigration laws used quotas that favored immigrants from some regions, especially northern Europe, and restricted others. By the 1960s, the United States ended the national-origins quota system, signaling a move toward greater openness and equality in immigration. The change best supports the idea that the country was becoming more open to diversity and equality.
