Sorry if I don't buy all the trauma claims by some of you that I'm supposed to have no clue about. What clue do you have? That you visit another country and experienced some discrimination? So I can't understand what it is to be discriminated against when I grew up as a minority and you guys grew up comfortable in the majority? My experiences may have been different, but i am fully aware what it feels to be discriminated against.
You so have no clue.

Maybe you should ask a sincere question rather than question whether we can relate to claims of discrimination at all. The nonsense you type above is so laden with ignorance and assumptions that I wouldn't even know where to begin.
