On Sunday night, after Donald Trump tweeted racist language suggesting four congresswomen “go back” to the countries “from which they came,” Michael Luo and his twin brother Chris discussed some of the bullying they navigated as Asian-American kids attending almost exclusively white schools. “What Chris remembered—and it was what I remembered, as well—was the feeling of perennially being ‘on the outside looking in.’ It’s a sense that persists for both of us today, at a constant low thrum.” At the link in our bio, @luomich dissects the dangerous language in Trump’s tweets and the pervasive feeling that immigrants, children of immigrants, and people of color in this country have to “wonder whether we can ever truly belong here, and who gets to decide.” Photograph Courtesy Michael Luo.

samusamosa Asian-Americans are not alone. 18 years ago I remember feeling isolated at my mostly white private high school (I’m Pakistani, Muslim, born in the US and grew up in an oil compound in Saudi Arabia and I barely survived high school, not exaggerating or joking at all when I say this), I had a similar experience in college / university, and sadly this type of isolation is a reality for all people of color. You guys (white / caucasian Americans, even some of the more progressive folks) really do isolate and look down on people who are even a shade (no pun intended) different. Sad that nothing has changed even after you all have had an African-American President. Living in the US even for me as a ‘1st generation American’ now feels like a life-long punishment. ... You should all be ashamed of yourselves.??Please, change your attitude toward us, it doesn’t take that much effort to do so. And you won’t lose your ‘whiteness’ or ‘American’ identity by being more inclusive. Most of us, even those of us with survival skills and resources can’t suffer anymore. It’s painful. We didn’t ask for this. ❤️

kokomenow I agree, I have a different story in which I was protected from the 1976-1977 race riots in Alabama Public Schools regarding enforcement of busing laws. There was a clear White-Black division of power with in the schools. In my case it was white children bused to predominantly black schools in rural Alabama. Being Half Japanese and Half White placed myself and siblings in an “Other” race category. We were accepted by or excluded by both blacks and whites equally. It took college before I was told I was not white enough to bring home to parents. It was an eye opener.

trishmullahey I'm a white girl with blue eyes from here that feels that way too , a feeling of estrangement from the herd attends many people , not just foreigners . Jews in Germany , Poland , they have an actual complaint . The word Juden being like the N word is here, a vile epithet . I got chased thru the halls of my elementary skool in santa Barbara as a child, by Mexican girls, for being a serious looking kid with long blond hair , my only offense .

jhny2sf I was walking with my niece and my daughter last Sunday in San Francisco. As we strolled by a church, a homeless man screamed, “Go back to Hong Kong.” He shocked my niece who is Eurasian, and at a very impressionable age. I called the cops as the man proceeded to harass other passerbys. Cops never came, but this is SF where civility and clean streets are becoming rare experiences. I am a 5th generation American btw.

lingfh I heard this every day of my life from other kids growing up in the 70s in Nebraska. Didn’t matter that I was half white. Didn’t matter that I was born here. The words he spoke, his defenders and all those who remain silent, or just don’t see this as a problem are those kids I grew up with. Their actions have amplified as adults.

ummahrobyn You are the heart of America❤️ Praying enough of us show up at the poles in 2020 so we can get back on the road to compassionate, competent, and productive leadership. DT is a disgrace to our country and history will echo that sentiment.
