Question

Why don't u tell me what you feel about immigrants?? I am asking this beacause the other day I went to take my daughter to her surgery at a surgery center and my daughter handnt had anything to eat or drink because of her surgery so she was cranky and the man across the room said to shut her up and to give her what she wanted and all she wanted was to eat and he went to tell the receptionist and she told him he have the same right has him to be there! It really disturb me and my mother what this man had done!

Why do you think they can't understan why immigrants come here, if all they want is a better life for them and their family!! It really bothers me how people can me so mest up to others and specially immigrants!!! How can people live like this, just hating on immigrant and even by the color of their skin!!?

Express what you feel about this??

Answer 1

Many Americans are racists. This is causing separation in the masses and anger toward each other. it doesn't look good for the future.

I can't even conceive what kind of thought process they go through. I think the arrogance and lack of moral fiber blinds them from reality.

Answer 2

That doesn't sound racial to me, he may have just wanted you to control your child, as I can understand if he was feeling ill, also. I have been in situations where a noisey child has bothered me, but I never complained about it.

If you want to comment on people against immigrants, you need to list some other instances that are more disturbing.  

Answer 3

If you were born here then why do you feel the need to ask something about immigrants, especially when you're story has NOTHING to do with that. I'm sorry, I more or so can agree with the man. I don't really like children. I probably would've done the same thing. He wasn't doing it because he thought you were an immigrant. Americans aren't sooo racist. We have our racial problems (just look at our history) just like every other country, who also have their racial/immigrant problems. I think people who do immigrate legally should at least try to learn our language. The fact is that people are more angry at the thought of an illegal immigrant coming here, being on welfare (through their taxes) and don't even try to speak English. In Europe, they're having problem with Muslim immigrants. So this isn't just a "U.S." thing. If people want to judge base on culture/race, then that's their problem. If you try to ask why and figure it out, then you'll going to spend a lot of time just wondering why.  

Answer 4

I have a huge problem with your thinking.  I don't think the man was frustrated because you are an immigrant.  I think he was frustrated because your child was cranky and fussing.  He wanted you to shut her up so he wouldn't be annoyed.  I don't see how being annoyed at a child's behavior when a parent isn't doing anything about it is against immigrants.

I'm not saying you weren't right for being upset, but I think your frustration is misguided.  It was about your parenting (which probably wasn't out of line anyway), not your heritage.

And my view on immigrants- if you come here legally and participate in the system like everyone else, you are welcome.  If you sneak across our borders, rely on the welfare system because you can and not because you need to and don't respect our culture and our language- get the h**l out!  If you want to make a better life for your family, do it the right way.
