(51,554 posts)I suppose we are a wild card depending on age and income and where we live, just like whites.
What really caught team GOP by surprise was single white females voting Dem.

(45,656 posts)Well, we're Asian, we don't really fit anywhere, so it seems. Someone the other day told me to "GO BACK TO CHINA! " on TwITTER.. funny, I have never been there, in the first place.

(10,915 posts)I once had a neighbor tell me to
"... Go back where you came from ..."
I responded, "Where Catalpa (as I pointed in the general direction)?"
(Catalpa Ave. was a street were my parents lived when I was born,
about 5 blocks east of where we currently lived)
The racist/bigot pig of a neighbor just looked at me puzzled.

(51,554 posts)it's fun to try applying for government contracting positions that require clearance, just to hear some recruiter say no you can't, those positions are for American citizens only.
Many of these companies hire so many H1B visa workers they don't realize Indian-Americans exist, let alone active security clearance holders. They automatically put your resume in for low paying tech support short term temp positions far away from where you live without even looking at your degrees, certifications, or experience, or where you live. Yes, it is frustrating. People must think my accent is fake, must have learned English on the boat coming over here or something.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
