They aren’t asking it to be confirmed. They simply want to be treated as such. If you tell me I’m 1/3 human, livestock, and then treat me as such, I think it’s reasonable to question if I am or not.

This is how you disagree! No victimhood, no emotional outbursts, just facts and logic. Can’t beat that 💪

This isn't an angry man, this is a passionate man who fought for a country and returned to face discrimination, prejudice and unparalleled levels of racism in the land of his birth.
