Saw my therapist about my arm yesterday and it went well. But sheās going to the US next week for a conference. I said, oh. She said, yeah. Pregnant pause. She said, the numbers are down on last year, people cancelling. I said, well, youāll probably be fine at the border, youāre white and you have blue eyes. She said, probably, but I donāt have a dick.
This is how perceptions of travelling to the US have changed in the last few weeks. However, Australians have been detained by border officials and sent back here for no good reason even before now, due to the weird culture among a significant number of US border officials who are suspicious of anyone not from the US.
#US politics#changing perceptions#even white non US citizens are wary of visiting legally due to weird behaviour at border control#it was present before trump but probably an order of magnitude worse now#the US is currently on my list of countries I wouldnāt risk visiting#hope you resist successfully
