The term is dated, xenophobic and most importantly ignorant because I’m willing to bet you’ve never been outside of your condo to even know the world around you but I come from 1 of these places. Migrated to & . Thanks to my parents and hard work, I went to a top school and https://twitter.com/laurenwitzkede/status/1313867438770057218

university, attended one of the most prestigious acting schools in country, I have a Masters in journalism, speak two languages, I was in a movie with John Malkovich worked for one of the most recognized sports publications in America and now one of the biggest networks.

But that’s not what you’re after is it. You want to create a picture where anyone who doesn’t fit the criteria of an “American” and fail to understand that multiculturalism is in fact the most powerful tool when it comes to a prosperous society.
