Exactly. The US is far less racist than most places, including (to progressives) paradisiacal Europe. Obama would’ve never been elected (the equivalent of) President in most Western European countries.
Not a chance in hell.
It must be shocking to do well in school, get a job, and realize your success is mostly about faking your importance in a bureaucracy.

I can tell you it is in fact shocking to get out of the army, where you are often in real life or death situations, and then go to work in corporate America where so much inconsequential depends on so little of any importance. It took me a while to get socialized from mostly being able to say whatever I wanted to engage in the necessary corporate-speak!
I don’t wish I’d stayed in the army, but what a culture shock that was.
As I was writing a friend earlier, the demonstrated failure of our elites and our society has made me much more supportive of high immigration to the US.
After all, what’s there to preserve? Unlike a lot of people who were against mass immigration, I have no interest in a white ethno-state. I’d be against mass immigration from North Africa for cultural reasons (because I actually care about women), but other than that, go crazy.
We should offer anyone from Hong Kong immediate asylum and then citizenship right away, of course. Probably Taiwan, too. What could this possibly hurt that is worth preserving? Nothing. Open the borders, let ’em all in. Fuck it.
