[quote=flu][quote=carli]BG, do you realize how out-of-touch your comment is, about being afraid of immigrants who “want to emigrate to the US solely to spread their (incompatible, non-western) religious beliefs and customs to Americans and also onto their own offspring, later born in the US”??
Um, wasn’t that what our country was founded on? Freedom of religion and all that?
If they weren’t so frightening, comments like yours (mimicking Trump’s) would be truly comical.
Of course our country needs to guard against terrorists, but that does not extend to keeping out people of “incompatible non-western religious beliefs.” And please, do tell, what are those religious beliefs that are incompatible with those of us in the U.S.??
And you wonder why people consider you ignorant and racist.[/quote]
For me, I would be slightly terrified if the majority of the Americans are like BG. But, frankly I have faith there are more people in this country are more like my neighbors and people like you Carli. I just need to be reminded of that every so often. Thanks.[/quote]This is another reason why I’m loving living in CA and SoCal specifically. My kid’s school super diverse where they don’t even think twice about diversity. When I say diverse, I mean that no nationality/heritage have more than 10% of the class, unless you count mix races/nationality/heritage as a group. I’m not too concern about people like BG here in SD, at least my part of SD.
