I feel like can only really live in places with Democratic control (or at the minimum, a purple area)

Like… if I walked around in a 99% republican white town, I’m gonna get called a “chink” every other day.

Even though I’m a Citizen, it still feel like over half of the US is unaccessible to me.

Even just moving from NYC to Philly, because Philly seems to have less immigrants compared to NYC, particulary less Asians, especially in the area I lived in; so because of that, I faced A LOT more racism in school than I ever did in NYC schools. I think in elementary and middle school, there was like less than 10% Asians… so much bullying, from literally every non-Asian. Even amongst Asians, there are still discrimation. Not to generalize, but there was this South/Southeast Asian kid that hates ethnic Chinese people for some weird reason… 🤷‍♂️ It wasn’t till highschool that the percentage of Adians went to like 22%, and it feels much less hostile compared to when there’s a low percentage of Asians.

I CANNOT IMAGINE growing up in some conservative white town… HELL NAH.

If I have children, I will not allow them to grow up in such hostile environments, even Philly is half-hostile. I’ll have to try to move back to NYC just so they can fit in. NYC feels a lot more Immigrant-Friendly compared to a lot of places.
