I know that there are restrictions for people's stay here in America, but everybody is acting as if this kind of behavior only happens in America, which is entirely false. There are plenty of cases of police brutality, sexism, racism, etc. all around the world, but nobody ever talks about them. America is just the loudest and most obnoxious of the bunch. The news that happens in America is heard all around the world.

I'm talking to the people that have the means to leave, but don't. If you hate this country so much, and you have the means to get out, then why don't you? Why do you choose to stay? Because clearly a place with so much injustice and brutality should not be called "home."

There is a reason why so many people immigrate into America. There is a reason why my parents decided to leave half of their families behind in Vietnam to come to America. As shitty and douchey as America can be, there is a lot of good that happens here, and trust me, living here in America is a lot better off than a lot of the other countries in the world. My parents came here with nothing but the clothes on their backs; they didn't have a penny to their name. But after years and years of hard work, they made a name of themselves. My fish camp counselor is 30, male, African American, dyslexic, and has a family of 4, but he's still attending university and getting a degree in Industrial Distribution. To me, there is no excuse. There is no reason why you can't be successful. Perhaps that's insensitive and ignorant of me, but it's what I truly believe.

If I were to go back to my roots, and if I was living in the same villages that my parents lived in, I would not be the same person that I am today (whether that be a university student or a cunt bitch, that's up to you).
