Often times they are shocked that I don’t like America, and when I tell them they destroyed my country and it’s why I’m here, they get uncomfortable because they can’t openly be smug since I’m not white. They’ll say some shit like “I’m sorry that happened. But the US has changed and we’re improving” which usually makes me laugh. Then they just do that patronizing frowny face :powercry-1: and say “I’m sorry you feel that way.” Their civility fetish prevents them from saying “well you deserved it” that’s for sure.

Online though, they don’t care lol. They’ll drop their mask as soon as you annoy them

      “noo, you’re loved and welcome in America, we don’t see color”

      How big is the rock they're living under?

          I feel like some people are legit the giant baby in Spirited Away. Like, not innocent, but willfully blocking out any info that breaks the facade of their padded suburb so they don't have to think about the corpses under it. Even middle class people seem to desire to preserve their sanity by rationalizing away the contradictions.
