That's terrible. I can't even imagine. I wonder what we can do to help change this?
- wnscooke 10y agoThis is ridiculous. Of course they are American! Why let losers dictate identity??
- mistermann 10y agoI would say it's a two way street....natives have to be more welcoming yes, but non-natives should also not be so eager to play the race card, sometimes a person is just a jerk and race is an easy insult. But even beyond that, I personally believe the "just don't be racist, everyone is the same after all" belief is rather naive. I suspect that there are in fact in some places and in some ways, increasing racism against certain groups, specifically mainland Chinese. The mainstream narrative that there is no such thing as culture is so obviously false, I honestly take people with these opinions about as seriously as they take redneck Trump supporters. If you want me to pretend that everyone is the same, and that immigration has absolutely zero affect, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree (but I will try to be welcoming and polite).
