Since my immigration, I have learned that Americans have belittled, beaten, and killed their black and native citizens for centuries. The recent number of abused and murdered Germans and other foreign-born residents seems relatively small in comparison to the crimes against the nonwhites of this country. Yet this added surge of hatred only proves that America has no right sailing to foreign lands in the name of protecting freedom—not when we’re steeped in the mire of violent inequality here at home.
