I am generally anti-immigrant to the USA but I am also more or less an immigrant to Japan, where my "alien-ness" is more impactful. The irony is not lost on me.

@sun Do you go to Japan and act like a total nigger and chimp out when they don't simply accept it? Do you demand that they adapt to you?
@echo I am a guest and I am doing my best to be respectful and fit in. It's hard but I'm trying.
@Leyonhjelm @echo I think that people that assimilate can be as american as white anglos tbh.
@sun
Only because Americans are bastard mutts. I certainly am. I descend from about ten distinct immigrants from different nations and one or more American tribe. It would be difficult to find that very Italian in Italy but it’s enough for the Italian-American in me to get along with other Americans, Italian or otherwise. Same for my Slovak, my Swedish, etc.
