“You’re not from here” is the simplest insight there is. When people ask “Zaid Jilani” where he’s from, they aren’t looking for “Texas” as an answer. You can fantasize about being a real American just like White people all you want, but people, even libtards, know you’re foreign.

“You’re not from here” is the simplest insight there is.
I read “insight” as “insult” the first time I read that, and thought “OK, that’s kind of a good point”….oops, lol

My physician - of Indian Peninsula pre-Partition ancestry: now Pakistan - was originally from Uganda. Just out of college there, he came here when someone else thought as you do in the early 1970s. A few decades later he ensured an operation on yours truly was so painless: even though I was the first patient he was the anaesthetist for, the surgeon said it was absolute textbook, thus the operation to remove a (benign) tumour from my rectal wall was a success. Everything has been a success for him since he & his mother and father were forced out of that country and they came to Britain. Uganda’s loss, our gain. He has a family since then, and he’s told me he couldn’t be happier: and that was before they went on the Hajj . He’s as much a Briton as I am: and my ancestor was a Norman knight who came to Britain in 1079.
He ensured I felt no pain in that operation. I’d trust my life to my physician. Congratulations, OP.
On the basis of your opinion, and as you’re basically Idi Amin there’s your entire ‘argument’ sent to the grave.
““You’re not from here” is the simplest insight there is.”
Not really. In a nation of immigrants, you have this idea that you can tell a citizen by sight. We’ve been importing people, some against their will, for a few hundred years, get over your racism.
“When people ask “Zaid Jilani” where he’s from, they aren’t looking for “Texas” as an answer.”
That’s their problem.
Especially if he’s from Texas.
If they’re asking about his heritage, that’s a completely different question. Just go ahead and ask ‘Which kind of nigger are you?’ if that’s what is important to you.
"You can fantasize about being a real American just like White people all you want, but people, even libtards, know you’re foreign.”
While you fantasize about America being a White Country. But anyone who’s read the constitution knows you’re an idiot.

My wife reminded me of an anecdote. Woman hears the couple in front of her talking ‘mexican’ and tells them ’We’re in AMERICA! you should speak ENGLISH or go back to MEXICO!’
one of the two turns around and says, “We’re speaking Navajo. You should go back to England.’
It’s not a ‘simple’ insight, it’s simplistic and bigoted.
Confused?
