On my way to school every morning, I used to pass a Hindu lady with a young child in a pushchair. We always used to smile and wish each other "Good morning".
Simpler times!

Ryan: The Promised Land = Palestine/Israel Wikipedia[^]. I don't think I've every heard of the US as the promised land?

Makes no sense to me.
Most countries are delimited by artificial lines drawn by someone, even where natural lines exist people were mostly crossing them before they became national borders.
I went to university in Leicester, a city in England with a large Asian population.
I know people beaten up for being Asian, people beaten up for being white, and people beaten up for being students. Someone threatened me with a bottle in a bar for wearing the wrong football shirt.
And one lad in my class (who happened to be Asian) was stabbed around a dozen times by someone who wanted to steal his car, although I don't think that was race related.
Some people are massive dicks, they will always find a reason for hating someone, race or nationality is simply an easy and obvious one.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I have always laughed :haHa: in the face of these prejudices. Due to being of such mongrel nationality I qualify as a bloody foreigner in every sovereign state upon this planet; Singapore born to Irish/Scot parents, Dad was born in KL, my brothers both born in Germany, I'm married to a damn commie Hungarian type and I will be receiving Hungarian Citizenship soon.
Where am I from? Bob alone knows.

That wine you mentioned a few weeks back: Bulls Blood? Tokai? ... prep for your upcoming citizenship?

Can we just hate people from a city? In which case it Paris. (Well, I also have friends form there, so it isn't universally applied. )

Could you explain how that isn't political/religious animosity?
Could be racial I suppose but I have never heard that difference as being racial.

I'm a New Yorker... I've grown up surrounded by people of every conceivable nationality. Honestly, all humans look pretty much alike to me.
I categorize people based on behavior and mannerisms (Is that redundant?), not nationality or appearance. Act like a #%(*&#, and you go in the #(*&%@# bucket.

I'm Slovenian and the stereotype is that we are presumed to not get along with Croats, Italians and maybe some other southern countries(in relation to Slovenia) like Serbian or Albanian people.
I personally hold no prejudice against nations, religions and most groups people associate with. I write most groups as I do not like some extreme groups. But never because they consist of a specific nation. Every county has extreme and normal people and a different nation doesn't mean a big difference to me regarding equality. As for cultural differences, I always enjoy learning the ways of others, as well as teaching others our ways if they are open to it.
Sorry for mentioning religion twice

As you may saw I live in a place that full of hatred based on nationality (or not based on nothing but hatred)...I by myself build a life trying not to make assumptions about someone based on nationality or any connection to an group (I can't tell you I always good at it , but getting better with each year)...I have a card inside my valet on which I have printed the words of the merchant from Aladdin: "Like so many things, it is not what outside, but what is inside that counts.", that reminds me what I'm every time I open it...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Double chocolate brownies. Hands down, my favorite. Not good for the diet, but good for the soul. Anyhow, what dessert is on your menu for the day?
