@ASPertierra What always fascinated me was how relatively welcoming East Coast and Midwest college towns were of Chinese students while the West Coast was full on Chinese exclusion (due to the perceived threat of their labour/business). To the point of mockery by media back east.
@Bartaway A light skim of American comedy media would've let him know that, yes, lots of people join or rediscover Judaism, esp for relationships and that it will lead to wacky unforeseen situations.
@Bartaway Ppl remember how badly McCain was fucked over by racists in that 2000 primary in S Carolina. He got a lot of shit wrong, but unapologetic racism would be the last thing I'd accuse him of.
@Bartaway Low key: I hate the current culture of posting bond on a disorderly, then immediately grabbing your phone to post cringe. God, just go to a Denny's, put your phone down and touch some grass.
@Bartaway And even then, it was about 15 years of a subcurrent of animosity from the US against Vietnam. There was a shit ton of "secret POWs held in Vietnam after the war" media and other fantasy grievances.
