(5,723 posts)Like it's all his personal property. When in fact they're participating in society: taking care of their health, banking their own money, getting an education.
This dumb bastard--and yes, I strongly suspect he IS racist--has the gall to put "Harvard" in his user name when in reality it's ill-advised to let him handle anything sharper than a crayon.
EDIT: Yikes. I visited his Twitter. YIKES. Lots of exclamation points at the end of assorted versions of "wake up, sheeple" and "Joe sucks, Donald is teh awesome." I began to wonder if he was a parody account, but he seems absolutely 100% serious.

(5,397 posts)you probably want to claim direct ancestry to immigrants on the Mayflower!
Oh wait, they were UNDOCUMENTED!
Can they be shipped back to wherever their ancestors came from?

(16,398 posts)3 of my husband's grandparents came here from Poland, the 4th from Hungary, all in the first decade of the 20th century. My dad was brought over here from England by his parents as a toddler in 1911. That means 3/4 of my daughter's ancestors arrived in the U.S. less than 125 years ago. I'll bet Mr. Baranowski could probably say much the same. Unless his family is like my husband's, and all of his grandparents were immigrants.
My husband's grandparents settled in a heavily Polish neighborhood in Chicago. His father's mother lived to be 100, and I'm told that in all those years she never did learn to speak English. The horror! Brb, need to go find some pearls to clutch.

(2,218 posts)So a stranger makes up a scenario that does not match with real life statistics and in doing so demonstrates that he has no empathy for others. He attempts to make you hate a large swath of human beings while using the name of a university to try and add authority for a narrow view. He pretty much proves that he is a racist and a sociopath. What are the odds he is lying about his credentials?
Seriously, Daniel's made up villain cannot speak the language, yet this imaginary bad person can navigate society with amazing skill. At the end of the story, Daniel reveals that he is a Karen and that the person he is claiming to be able to influence politicians, break into you house, and rob banks without consequence while not being able to speak English is a member of a minority.
This is not the thinking of a brilliant man. I doubt this idiot even gave his correct name.
