Hi Glenn!

After living in the States for over three decades, the only enlightened white Americans I’ve met are the ones who descend from the hills to sell firewood and ask for work. I’m treated as an equal. Not a woman of color or a Muzzlim. Just someone who lives behind a contractors cheap door and might have work for them. And immigrants so reviled by Trump who do the dirty work in the ghastly suburbia of America. They’re not white though.

Your suburban and city middle class white Americans? They suck. I find them condescending, oblivious, self-absorbed and disconnected from reality. Hey there’s a planet out there, folks!

So yes, of course there are multitudes of decent hard-working white Americans. They’re just not rich and spoilt. They’re the ones America forgot.

And they are GOLD.

Cheers! Be safe.
