I am SURE literally tens of millions in India would look upon visiting the USA like going to another planet.
I’m fine with that.
To: Trump20162020
To the left, everything is about race.

What do you call a knitter who is also a snow flake?

Man, people love to work themselves up enough to be offended. Let it be.

I think Europe is another planet. A nice one to visit, but I’d never wanna live there.

Proof the Left is offended by everything. The word "fussbudget" (of Peanuts comic strip fame) applies here.

It used to be (a couple years ago) that if you put 2 people together, one would find offense in the other.
Today, one person on his/her/it’s own is offended on their own
Strange days, indeed.

Maybe it’s only knitters. I belong to a quilt guild in Houston we have people of color and men.
This crap really needs to stop.

“Colonialist/Imperialist mindset”
No normal person spews such nonsense.

Why do honkies CRAVE guilt..?
Why does being tarred by vapid accusations SATIFY them..?
In secular people do such accusations tap into a residual sense of ORIGINAL SIN..?

Idiot Abroad was based on this concept. Although instead of a fascination pulling him to foreign lands, he was dragged there for his discomfort to be a joke.
Why would anyone take offense at another’s desire to travel and experience a wholly different culture?
To: Trump20162020
Isn’t the whole point of traveling to experience something different?
People from all over the world come to the western US to experience big trees, big mountains, and wide-open spaces.
Is that colonialist/imperialist?
