I would be equally angry if I was back home because India is becoming close minded as well. I can relate to multiculturism here in usa because we learnt to be tolerant & got along with people of other religions. Sure there will always be troublemakers but we still managed to stay united. Celebrating festivals with our friends of different faiths was never an issue for us. Want to be like that here as well. Equality & respect for everyone.

The youth are too stupid to realize that the reason they live at home at 31 is because our elites put American citizens at the end of the priority list every chance they get. They get the warm fuzzier when they vote but don't put much thought into things beyond that.

I can't argue with that, I moved out a 18 with a minimum wage job. Today this isn't possible unless you want several roommates or just rent a room somewhere.

some those who voted for Clinton are the first to be less politically correct... chanting fu*# trump, etc. expecting this to escalate.

Whatever. I wouldn't get carried away if I were some people. Don't let the occupant of the White House convince you to write checks that your behind can't cash. Stay respectful.

That's not being PC...that's being courteous.
