Sorrow surrounds me.
I saw some people add a comment like this:
'I cannot understand why those people from the Third World like wandering so much...They are attempting to immigrant to any parts of the world just like packs of ants...'
Sorrow surrounds me.
Asians, I mean mainly traditional Chinese, Korean and Japanese, hold such a motto that a settled life is better than everything. No one likes to wander in the strange country all alone.
One of my best friends Michael, ever told me,
'I don't think things are always as bad as you think. Most of the Chinese immigrants to the US and Canada do very well. They are richer than their families at home and within one or two generations they make as much money or more as white people. The discrimination they face is terrible, of course, but maybe not much worse than what they face at home for being poor.'
Michael, although he does not major in philosophy, I think that he is the greatest philosopher, thinker and educator.
Indeed, if their motherland has abandoned them, and then every accessible approach has been blocked, if the whole world has abandoned them, where should they go?
If this essay offends you, I would like to say I am terribly sorry.

You shouldn´t mind those people. It´s just ignorance. The Americas (except by the few native people there are) are all made of immigrants. Ask that person who talked about ants where did his/her greatgranparents came from and they came from anothet ant hole where they lived poorly and were hundry. That is the history of immigrants all the time. And usually the immigrant are people more intelligent and daring than the ones left behind.
Discrimitation is in pasrt fear. Fear of losing they jobs because someone does them better and for less money.
Have a nice day

I am greatly touched by what you told me. You are telling the truth. Over the huamn history, countless maleficences have been committed. With a smile, we can forgive them. But when one has realized that is wrong but still takes up the crimes his ancestors ever committed, that would become unforgivable.
'Discrinamation is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.'
But we are all human.

Every human being deserves respect, no matter what his race, gender, religion. Until we learn that simple thing, there will be violence and crimes.
Thank you for asking me to be your friend.

In my opinion, people from third world countries migrate to progressive countries such as america and canada because of the promise of a much better life, financially. It seems that suffering from discrimination is a rather small price to pay for them if it would mean a more comfortable life financialwise. it's the kind of life they don't think they can have in their own country if they'd stay.
