Yup. I feel like telling them, “Come to America, we’ve been taking in people who are persecuted by fanatical religious sectarianism for 400 years now. You can build a better life here in this pluralistic society where inter-religious marriage isn’t even blinked at.”
Winner. For all its faults, America does have its strong points. I would say, aside from the class-ism and the lingering traces of racism/sexism in some areas, Americans mix better than many other countries.
