Knock knock, who’s there, orange, orange who, orange you glad you’re not an idiot. How much of an imbecile can one person really be? Other than the federally recognized tribes living in America, which includes native Hawaiians and Alaskans, most other present-day USA ancestors came here from someplace else.

How is it that the son, a husband and son-in-law of immigrants tell American-born individuals to Go Back to where they came from and not realize how wrong this is in so many ways? Any genius knows this, whether or not they are really stable.

As someone who unfortunately has been on the receiving end of such hateful remarks, I have personal knowledge of this type of mentality 👎 which begs for a shut up and zip it request 🤐

Growing up in Cuba and then in the USA, my educational experience was interesting. I was not what many would call a scholar but I tried not to be perceived as a bad student. I did not know the English language but I learned.

I would raise my hand to answer a question seconds after the teacher had called on someone else I did not know all the answers but wanted be engaged as I sat in the middle so that I could blend in with the rest of the students.

Latino students who are proficient in Spanish and speak English are placed in English Language Learning courses with the assumption that they are not capable of succeeding. These are examples of the negative racial stereotypes that undermine the academic potential of students and can play a factor in fueling the disproportionate amount of punishment that students of color have had to overcome.

Institutional Racism is cancer that exists in America and impacts everyone's experience. This nation is the melting pot and the international salad and the whole world is watching in horror.

Success in life comes by ignoring morons, with best practices that failure, and rejection are there to act as real motivation.
Ignore these idiotic comments and they will eventually disappear and be out of here.
