Lol, there's absolutely no preferential treatment for non-whites (which sort of occurs in places like the UK, actually). The UK is STILL the top country for immigrants here.

I was born in America so I'm tired of seeing the same stuff lol. I want to try and see something new. I know I'll like it a lot. Is it hard to get into America? Like does America have all these visas and requirements? is it expensive to get into America? =P

It is easy for us to visit America .... but much fewer immigrant visas right now because of the recession

Unless you win the Diversity Visa Lottery, and while you're preparing to migrate you meet and marry your American wife, and then you have 2 ways you can migrate...........which is what happened to me....

Lucky, lucky you .... I tried the Diversity Visa Lottery twice and missed out.
I could get an HIB visa but nowadays too much uncertainty and I probably wouldn't get to live where I would like
