That said, this country allows more immigrants (legally) into this country than all other countries on earth COMBINED. Most citizens with a modicum of common sense are accepting of the legal immigrants.

All I know is that the town part of Davis (Not the UC campus part) is full of conservative white people. Especially, and especially the 40 something year old white women...they give me and my friends that hateful look every time we walk around town. One time I was trying to get simple directions and one of them just shouted at me "I DON'T KNOW." Every time I see those fuckers looking at me like that, I just wanna stab their eyes out

Yeah your right GT, no matter how people label America as the most diverse country in the world, or the most accepting, it can never be fully true. The situation here in conservative section of Davis (in my opinion) can be related to all states that voted for Bush. Is it even possible that some bastard trucker redneck in Montana won't hate us minorities (Asian, immigrants, whatever you wanna name it) just because of what we are.
