A powerful statement, but it is not true. I empathize with you, since I see where you are coming from and I've met people like you, but I do not sympathize with you. While there are decent, hard working people with solid values, you need to be honest and take a look at the entire picture. Sometimes it is easy to have a better perspective from the outside, as a foreigner, where you can see more clearly what the US does to other countries, and what are the costs of the American way of life not simply the benefits. Sometimes it is easy to realize this as an ethnic minority. How many people had to be enslaved, lynched, tortured, assassinated, incarcerated, prejudiced upon, extrajudicially killed, physically removed, ethnically cleansed so you can be where you are today?. Just going to leave this quick reminder here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_racial_violence_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_racial_violence_in_the_Un... Going to highlight one relatively recent event, the Massacre of Greenwood, Tulsa in 1921: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO3Fxe4mDP4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO3Fxe4mDP4 . We could also mention the mass sterilization program in Puerto Rico, and countless other horrible events, but let's stop there. I think I've made my point. Many countries have acted unfairly in their history and that cannot be changed. But what can change is the acceptance of past mistakes and showing an intent to change. Sweeping everything under the historic rug only makes things worse.
