On: I served in the Air Force and Congress. People still tell me ‘go back’ to China

I've had it happen to me... from a former friend, no less - though online.

Racism is embedded deep within many folks here.

However, one of my close relatives (who's Chinese but started his career in France) got that a lot in France, a few years ago, too.

The sentiment is latent, lurking and waiting for the right circumstances or personality to bring it out.
