Every story I read about that poor man put me right back in that space. Paranoid, terrified, alone, hypervisible, a target on my back. I know how he could decide the pain is too much. Meanwhile, white men and “conservative” coded academics lie and plagiarize and steal as their due.

The designation of having a 'foreign-born' parent makes no sense. When you consider that for many so designated, their own parents and grandparents were born British subjects and only gained the supposed "foreign" nationalities they have on the dubious granting of an 'independence' to do nothing.
