Should be a one-way ticket back to Syria. I immigrated here from America seven years ago, blend in seamlessly with the populace, and I still wouldn't fuck with a Canadian in fear of being deported (I'm also not an asshole). It's an absolute privilege to be here and I love this country. It's crazy to me that anyone else would have the opportunity to come here and then squander it by beating the shit out of a peaceful lesbian couple who are trying to enjoy their night. How incredibly brazen.
You shouldn't face special punishments just because you're an immigrant.
This anti-immigration dogwhistling needs to stop. It's unbecoming for people who aren't members of the alt-right.
Yes you should. You have an expressed interest in moving to a new place, learn the laws. Fit in, adapt. None of this hyper religious dogmatic bs. I too am an immigrant.
Not really. If their culture has parts about it you disagree with, you don't need to adopt those parts.
Ex: If I move to Russia, I don’t have to become a bigot.
This will only make sense if you’re mentally an adult. If you’re still a child mentally, then going along with what other people do just to please them is the only thing that will make sense to you.
Assimilate or leave if your culture is intolerant.
Or try to change it from within for those who need it.
Tolerance has a limit
I mean if you move to a country that has equal rights, I think you should try not to brutally beat an lgbt couple because your god hates the gays.
Same thing goes for if you move to a country that doesn't have equal rights.
You kinda do though. If you were to move to Russia and loudly voice liberal opinions you will not have a good time. You might not have to adopt the local culture as your own but you can not go against it.
