Are any first generation immigrants here? Do you feel more "accepted" in the US compared to the other countries you have been to?

Without a doubt, and I doubt my grandfather could have built the life he did in other countries.

He was an immigrant who spoke very little english, but learned some of it. The Basics. My grandmother too. (Both on my mom's side) - he was able to scrape up enough and get some personal sort of old style handshake deals to open up an auto shop, and, I guess the tinkerer in him (and it lives in me, still !) learned how to repair motors, and do basic car repair, and I'm proud to know that when he passed, he held the title to an automotive repair shop, with no debt.

I have had the fortune and opportunity to travel the world. I was born in the US, but feel more welcome here than in other places. I feel like I have a ton of opportunities and I'm very grateful for them.

Dutchy here, thinking Tri-State was exclusively used for NY, NJ and CT but it's a term for ~25 populated areas elsewhere in the country, shared by three states. Now my Q is: "Did people move there because they wanted to trade with the other states"? Or do people live there cause of geography? A few ‘do Americans eat/drink …….. on daily basis’ questions ? Do you think that fatphobia an actual issue? Any tips for an Englishman's first time making gumbo? Any tips for an Englishman's first time making gumbo? Why do a lot of rural Americans (particularly in the deep south) say 'You want I should...?' instead of 'Should I...?'/'Do you want me to...?' Where did that come from? In hindsight do you think normalizing relations with china was a bad idea? Rich elderly people? Do you support school choice / charter schools? Representative Buck and Senator Hawley have introduced a bill to band TikTok nation wide. How do you feel about that?
