Default Re: Wow, that was racist

Though the political asylum makes the persian case more ironic, i don't think intense xenophobia amongst really new immigrants is uncommon. Particularly w/ 1st generation east asian immigrants, marriage to a white american is going to be met w/ resistance. I think w/ increasing time and assimilation, these isolationist practices go away, and I think Asians in the US, given another generation and a half will be far more assimilated and lose a lot of the foreign nationalism/ethnocentrism.

if this was real life, i'm pretty sure this is where i'd give you a pound and go to bed. you type too fast and i am tired.
