As someone who doesn’t have a place where I’m considered local and someone who has no cultural nationality, only a legal citizenship… I tire. I don’t understand why people hate people who don’t live their entire lives on the patch of land they were born on (or people whose ancestors didn’t). I just watched news about lowering birthrate and there were gross comments about the “awful” posibility of us pesky non-locals coming in. They were drenched in hate and I just don’t understand why. I’m really disheartened. I have nowhere to escape this. I would appreciate if someone who has more experience with people who hold this sentiment explained their line of thinking in detail. Maybe rationalizing it can help me make peace with it? I’m not sure but I want to try to address it.
