But I do believe that one can be opposed to immigration without being considered a racist. If you don't agree with me here, then we will never agree on anything.
I am especially sensitive to Asian immigrants, typically non-citizens, who come to the USA, join leftist circles, enjoy the benefits of the world's strongest ecomony and most free country, and then bash the USA mercilessly. I recall one that shares your surname (assuming it is Reddy) who was on the research staff at my graduate school who just drove me through the roof. I confess that I never said to him what I dreamed of saying -- "D-mn it, go home and fix your caste system before dumping all over my country!"
fair enough. but I would venture to bet that the vast majority of indians of hindu descent are very pro american and strong supporters of the president. I just wanted to make the point that one moron does not a race make.
