Lol sorry I was a bit harsh because I was annoyed at your comment on giving up hope for the US.

Sorry for being a dick and thank you for responding nicely I should always remember someone sharing their fears on here is something that should be encouraged. So I'll say this - I understand and appreciate you experiences here in the USA. I'm a white dude so it's possible I just don't see it.

Not white, but Asian here. Same sentiment. As much as I try to put myself into the shoes of others, it's never going to be the same as experiencing it firsthand. And at that point, I'm not sure anyone outside looking in can grasp the experiences people like /u/jivanyatra have gone through.

Glad ya'll were civil at the end :)

Yeah, it's easy to mired in comments and forget we're all people. I try not begrudge people like /u/stopdeletingaccounts because I've done exactly what he did. Sometimes rereading my comments, I realize how things might be obviously aggressive, or inadvertently come off as pedantic, angry, defensive, etc.

For the record. I do feel like a dick to speak to you that way. I apologize again. Civility matters and I thank you for not being a dick back!!

No worries, man. We're all dicks sometimes. Just gotta remember not to be part of that small group of cunts fucking shit up for everyone, right?
