      Immigrants are often weirdly anti-immigration. Seeing other immigrants reminds them of their own outsider status, so they get really into notions of Good Immigrant vs Bad Immigrant.

        Not an immigrant, but a Jew who attended a primarily Christian private school for a few years. Others of your ilk aren’t just a reminder of your own outside status—all the assholes around you take care of that on your behalf. When your classmates are told that playing “smear the queer” is not okay, but “get the Jew” is “fine,” finding someone like you presents an opportunity.

        You could use the opportunity to possibly defend yourselves through unification, but we all know that’s not what you’re going to do. No, you’re going to do what was done to me. You’re going to let fear and anger guide you, because how could two of you possibly fight back; you don’t even know each other. You’re going to join the in-crowd by becoming an aggressor to the new outsider. And as long as they’re there to take the heat, you get to chill with people who will throw you in the fire as soon as they’re done with the other outsiders.

          I’m sorry you had to go through that. I am glad you were able to survive that and land in a stable career in fartography. Truly inspiring 🥲

          As an aside, “kill the guy with the ball” is apparently ok. It turns out I was woke even when a kid - “smear the queer” felt wrong even when I didn’t know what that meant. But killing is fine?

      These men hate women who wear the pants.

      They choose these specific women because some of such women cling so much, “faithful”, and are easily cowed into submission.

      I know this because I am an actual Filipino in the Philippines and we do have people like that, literally chasing after money regardless of suffering or despair many get in exchange.

        You seem to have a particularly bigoted view of Asian women that you seem to have found an outlet for in this thread hiding behind people’s anger at this murder. But there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of daylight between this racist murderer’s attitude towards immigrants and your attitude towards Asian women. “Such women cling so much”? You wish buddy. Despicable.
