[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a white American man. I am an Asian immigrant who received her citizenship upon marriage to him.

Lately, he gets angry and defensive and calls me "anti-American" when I complain about various things. U.S. Foreign policy, the junk food, the lack of style of fellow Americans.

He says if I live here, I should be happy and not anti-patriotic.

Wondering if other Americans feel this way?[/quote]

Yes I do and I have no qualms about telling you that you are free to return to your home country.  I have lived all over the world and my philosophy was very simple: I was a guest in that country and,  as such, would behave as a guest and never complaint to a citizen if that country.

You might try to adopt my philosophy.  The worst part is that you will become a citizen of a country you dislike and find our customs,food, and style offensive to your very delicate senses and a martyr to love because the man you married lives in a first world country!  Millions of people would give anything to live here. We have a lot of problems.but having lived in Europe, Asia, and South America, I know the United States of America is the best place to live.

You disgust me.

Not OP but how about take down the stupid just a notch. Citizens of this country have the right to complain about anything and everything. Just like you do. [/quote]

I'm am a citizen but here but naturalized citizens should keep their complaints to themselves because not one single person held a gun to OP's head forcing her to become a citizen of a country she finds so beneath her.[/quote]

Nope. A citizen is a citizen and we have all the same rights as you. If I don’t like something I will use all avenues available to me to change it. [/quote]

Well. Maybe OP should be attempting to adapt to the US instead of criticizing.  She was in the country for years prior to becoming a citizen  and she hated it but was more than willing to take advantage and use the country and it's citizens for her pursuit of happiness.  Maybe her husband begged her to be become an 
American citizen but none of the other 330,000,000 plus US citizens begged her to grace the country with her "oh so lofty" presence!
one else did.
