I spoke with a dude from Ukraine the other day and my mind was blown. He was going on about immigrants and the wall. He actually said, “They want to destroy our culture.” I said to him, “Dude, with your accent there are people who immediately feel that way about you when they hear you speak.” It was like he didn’t even hear me. Then he went on about Muslims in Europe and said something like, “We can’t relate to those people and they don’t want to fit in, they want to take over. The Muslims are worse but they’re doing the same thing coming up here from down south.”

In his mind he was the good immigrant. All the other ones are bad.

I don’t know. The world is neat.
