I'm really ticked off right now to see this happen...this is one example...it happens all the time!!!! and it pisses me off to no end! Some stupid person yelling racial rudeness! When someone who is from a different country makes you mad then you decide all of those people are the same...stereotype....and you say..."Go back to Moscow" assuming they are Russian and not Ukrainian, Jordanian or whatever.....what gives people the right to think that just because they were born in this country they own it and have more of a right to be here than them? Isnt immigration what our country all about? Is there a cut-off saying if your parents immigrated her before 1900 you own the country? Hey stupid jerk, go back to Finland! Your grandparents immigrated here...go back because you made me mad! I find it kinda funny that a Finn would be predjudice against a Russian...hello, Swedish people and Russian people are what formed Finland! I wonder if he even knows that!
The only people who have the right to say "Go back to your own country!" are the Native Americans anyway...this is their country...we are all immigrants just as the Russians, Ukrainians, Mexicans, Asians, Persians, Pacific Islanders,Europeans....and so many more...whoever has come to this land to seek the freedoms we have! There are plenty of Immigrants fighting for our country right now..there are over 68,000 foreign born citizens in our armed forces, fighting for this country and what it stands for, right now!!! My grandfather came over from Norway and faught in the war and was a decorated war hero and earned a Purple Heart in Pearl Harbor....he became a citizen in the Navy!
I understand people get frustrated when immigrants come over illegally....that is a whole other topic and you might not want to hear what i have to say about that...I can see both sides of it. It is breaking the law...but i understand their desperation....the bottom line is....the US is the melting pot, land of the FREE and if we have such a shallow way of thinking, we will soon become an autocratic form of government led by a closed minded group of people and stripped of all our freedoms!
so I just wanted to vent...makes me angry to hear that kind of crap....
