I'm sorry about you've been through. But, I just want you to know that I am not invalidating American problems by writing this article. Just like you've shared your horrible experience as a foreigner in Asia, I also write this article based on my own knowledge and experience. I know for a fact that there are other people from all around the world that experience the same experiences that you and I had, some probably even worst. Racism is racism, no matter the severity of it. Call me ignorant if you like but this is my way of putting light to a topic that matters to me. Have a nice day, Garth.
