I mean, I am an immigrant too, which puts me in a better position than you to talk about equality, fairplay and ethics. I am a foreigner in another country, I reside here and I work here, therefore I am an immigrant. I have had to face the criticisms of my country to my face, I have had people mock me for my accent or the way I hold my teacup. There is nothing better than make people eat their words, saying I won't get anywhere because of where I come from, or because I didn't master their language. However, I think 5 promotions in 6 years proved them wrong and to be honest, I am loving it. I am the foreigner, taking their job, and going places where they want to be. Why? Because I work hard and I don't criticise the system no matter how much I hate their system. I don't criticise the police either, because they have a difficult enough job as it is, the neighbourhood where I live is a Chinatown section, where the majority are either Vietnamian or Chinese (nothing better than having 60 Chinese restaurants at your fingertips, or even Lebanese, kebab, Greek. There are a large number of North Africans where I live and they are fantastic, and to be honest, I couldn't wish for a better neighbourhood, listening to Raï (not the Italian television network either.) So you see, you can think what you like of me, we live in a free society, it doesn't matter one jot. I don't think anything bad about you either because I am, as you say, just someone behind an azerty keyboard. Have a nice evening.
That's wonderful, dear.
I suppose I should accept your position as the ultimate authority in these matters, then. After all, you've said you are; so, it must be true. Clearly you've been briefed on the entirety of my life and the lives of everyone on these forums, unbeknownst to any anyone's knowledge.
Besides, I can't even imagine what it must be like to be mocked for they way I hold a teacup. That must have been so painful for you.
I'm actually too ashamed to even discuss profiling or police brutality, now.
Have a nice evening as well, RobertE Lee.
