It's rude to say that to someone, but as a foreigner if you can't come to terms with the face that you ARE an outsider, leaving's your only alternative (America's pretty diverse so eventually anyone can become a local, but in many places the visual difference will always set you apart).
I've been the foreigner before and there's a big gap between not being treated like a local and being actively encouraged to leave.

- solidasparagus 7y agoOnly if you're treated worse. Which in many places you are not. But you're still not a local.
- ng12 7y agoIs that form of racism still bad if it's culturally accepted? There are places in the world where it is not only culturally but legally encoded that non-natives are second class citizens. Should those places be denied the opportunity to self-determine that policy?
- RaiseProfits 7y agoThis is only one facet of a common problem that virtually every people on earth deals with. Is it so hard to acknowledge? > There are places in the world where it is not only culturally but legally encoded that non-natives are second class citizens. Hell, in Israel you can even be a native and be a second class citizen. I wouldn’t look to these countries as role models for human rights, though.
