IMHO, I don't think anyone living in North America has any right to dislike foreigners, because it's not their land in the first place. It's so damn hypocritical of Americans to say that foreigners chance the traditional way of life, because that's what white Americans did to the native Indians in the first place. Sure, you may say "But that was ages ago, in the times of colonization, so it's different". Bullshit. That doesn't give anyone the right in 100 years to say the same thing.
It's really sad... The same thing happens in Australia. The native Aborigines are so damn mistreated by everyone, especially the police. People look down on them so much and they have the worst living conditions, because nobody gives Aborigines jobs. They have a reputation for being drug and alcohol addicts, but I wish people would stop and see the reason for that... if they're not given jobs, they have little else to do, so they turn to such things. The natives don't get a fair go... :down:
