Being an ambassador for your race eventually burns out even the best of us. Some people feel like they need to try to “bring out” whatever stereotypes they have about “your people” when you present too positive of an image. Don’t work too hard trying to convince others that you belong where you are.

Honestly nothing. Even if I ammassed enough wealth to live comfortably in the US, I know I could take that money and live like a queen someplace else.

Every time I’m back in the US I get so annoyed with needless expenses and how everything requires you to fill out a form or stand in a line, or do both. Or it’s two forms and then you go from this line, to that line over there until they tell you to come back to this line type of bullshit.
