WHAT IS THE CONCERN OVER EBOLA IN AMERICA GIVEN THAT WE TOOK THE NATION IN GOOD PART WITH SMALLPOX?

Why would a country like the United States which had the transmission of smallpox to Native Americans as a founding act, be concerned about a few falsely rumored cases of ebola in the United States?   

Even if the smallpox epidemic of early America was at first unintended, Indian removal and extermination was time and time again seen as God's will and as indicative of American Manifest Destiny. 

I hope the ebola outbreak in the world ends soon.  

But we should take the current outbreak as a chance to remind ourselves of our own history, and of the fact we so often seem to care a lot more for people we see as like ourselves rather than for people who seem different or who are somehow inconvenient to have around.
