"Try moving to California where white people are now the minority." I would, but I'm already here. Yo hablo espanol, tambien.

<<I don't see understanding on any "side", I only see hatred and polarization.>> The issue here is that the President should have unequivocally condemned those who publicly demonstrated in Charlottesville raising the Nazi flag and espousing white supremacy. Instead, what we heard was an apology on their behalf as if the people who attacked them did something wrong. I'm sorry that you experienced racism or reverse discrimination in CA. But this country fought a World War against Hitler and Nazism. Many Americans died in battle doing so. I think this country and its deceased veterans deserved something better from Trump than a lame apology to the white supremacists for being attacked. It seems that Trump would have preferred the "alt left" to say Hile Hitler and Hile Trump and just smile while the Nazis were demonstrating!

BTW, white people are a minority in NYC too. That's one of the reasons why I loved NYC so much. I love the diversity and different cultures. And though I appear White, I don't consider myself Caucasion at all. I'm a Jewish Humanist all the way, who holds Humanity above my Judaism. In Henderson, NV, I actually miss seeing more Asians, especially Chinese. There are a few, but not enough. Lots of Hispanics though, which is good. In Buenos Aires, if you are an arrogant, snotty, American, they won't talk to you. I am fluent in Hebrew and English and getting there in Spanish. My second wife is Argentinian.
