[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we have that same racist Chinese immigrant pp going on and on about his tough life, and why he supports Trump. I called him a deplorable on another thread and I am calling him deplorable here too. Why Jeff did not block him years ago is beyond me.
So insane he is that he is in favor of Trump to avoid dictatorship regime![/quote]

Different Chinese poster.

Back in China, we don't have the same sort of social services you see here.  You can't go any work anywhere you want, purchase property or have your kids go to public school anywhere you want legally,  you are actually tied to a certain area via the Hukuo, or residency system. This has lead to a huge problem of urban poverty as the government was trying not to let everyone move to the cities, and massive abuse of migrants who do move.

Average classroom size in China is usually well over 50 kids, though many of my classes as a child had 80+ kids.  The government didn't provide us with free lunch, IEPs etc.  In the college system you have to test into your major and school. You can't easily change majors.  Corruption is much higher on all levels.

If you grow up in this country, you've hit the global lottery.  There are huge advantages that many should take advantage of here, but don't.  This is why we sign up for every eligble program we can once we come here, so our kids are well fed and taken care of so they can focus on academics.[/quote]
I get that. But, surely the above pp ought to understand that we are not in Olympics of "who had it worse" and that it is liberals that are working towards improving the wealth gap, at least a little bit, here. Given what you just wrote, how does it make sense that all he wants to do is elect another oppressor? I am from former Yugoslavia, we had it good and then bad, and I know exactly how much education availability is responsible for advancing in life. I was born in a major city and had access to the best grammar schools. Many of people from our villages are still voting for dictators and nationalists. Nothing from the war, and ethnic cleansing there penetrated that this was bad, that having nationalists, like Trump, leads to war, more poverty and that political leaders got rich at the expense of the poor people. I think this is why I am in disbelief that a person who experience similar in China, is here and a staunch Trump supporter to "protect" personal freedom. Plus a racist. I guess he loves what he is familiar with, oppression and lack of racial equality. All he needs to do is read a couple of books and listen to few podcasts. Imagine a person in rural China that doesn't know how to sign up for programs, now put them in extreme poverty here. When I immigrated here, I paid for my own college. I had no idea that I could qualify for student aid. None. Yes, I was ignorant to even go to the financial office! I got some money only after it was awarded to me by the college due to my GPA. I am not embarrassed to say this, I was very young and had never heard of financial aid in my country. So, yes, I think I do understand what not having an education and being poor means, even here.
