the ugly truth is that we are not the same. the goal should be to better accept and appreciate our differences instead of trying to make everyone else into carbon copies of ourselves.
yes, and these differences are called culture. when i lived in spain, i often wondered how countries like germany and austria entered into a political and economic union with countries like spain and greece. they are simply too different.
i think the fact that american's are able to celebrate differences is one of the reasons why our country is so successful. can you list the things that go wrong and how they should look? This is America, nobody here WOULDN’T do that i am far more concerned with people soft on crime yet want to make criminals out of legal gun owners. i am more concerned about people who think any loser should be allowed in america. if anyone has hid out for so many years they should be allowed to stayand if they breed a litter of kids on our tax dollars they should stay. you will not earn more money in the usa (especially if you settle here). go to canada or australia for a better future ignorance, poor education, instilled with that from parents, fear of someone who is different, fear of things they don't understand, fear of change, hostility towards people who they perceive are doing better than them, irrational fear of people they believe are trying to take their jobs or worsen their life situation in some way. i could list another dozen. and everybody is a keyboard warrior on social media saying things anonymously they'd never have the guts to say to someone's face.often times, it's a combination but irrational fear and insecurity is usually present. one of the best jokes i've heard that exposes the hypocrisy of racism, fear of immgrants, foreigners etc. is:"if you think immigrants are all criminals, rapists and killers and you think immigrants are all coming to take your jobs, what the hell do you do for a living?" why do you hate other races user what the fuck are you talking about? nah philippines is a nation of people. so no. just a hater against a nation. but why? i've been with a philippines chick before. she was chill af. depends on what you consider to be a productive conversation. but i see no such thing unless there are clear results.another case like this is yet more bait for the media to relish and exacerbate, and yet more opportunities for the cynics to come out saying it's about race or that nothing will ever change.it doesn't seem productive with the attitudes we display in our national conversation. all the while, another family suffers to the backdrop of societal indifference or name-blaming.it strikes me that no one brings up the most prevailing theme amongst all of these cases: fear, and the permeating insecurity that's deeply rooted in the american psyche.all i see is the continued pattern of fear rearing its ugly face in case after case, be it inadequate training, racial & cultural differences, vendettas, or the proliferation of gun ownership.and here, a foreigner gets caught in the middle of this american phenomenon. and while the details are incredibly vague, i feel it could very well have been simply this woman innocently knocking in the vehicle to get the officers attention; something likely innocuous back in australia, but certainly something most americans wouldn't dare attempt. and she suffered the ultimate price for it.culture and mentality takes a long time to change. and the more we continue to be equal-but-separate, i can't even imagine a productive conversation, let alone a result.i'm sorry, but no matter how much the cry for justice, or even the delivery of such, that alone will not be enough to alter the course of history and our future.
