As a first generation immigrant, I see America as a land of double standards. Here are a few of the more prominent problems that I see in today’s society.

Females are allowed to discriminate against males and even advocate their total destruction as a gender, but males aren’t allowed to, vice versa.

We provide free tuition to illiterate, illegal immigrants, while in the meantime middle-class educate legal immigrants from Europe, Asia, and Africa are having enormous amounts of trouble trying to fill out all the paperwork, plus they have to pay large fees that may be for naught.

Calling someone a racist is now as offensive as some racist words.

We keep mentioning about a jury of our peers, yet doctors keep getting screwed over by malpractice suits because their “peers” are actually those of their victim.

We keep trying to ban guns because people use them to commit crimes. I bet that if everybody in a store/plane/school had a gun, there would be a lot less killing sprees.

We keep crying out about seperating church and state, and yet we forbid stem-cell research and the teaching of evolution.

We advocate how the family should be the most important unit in a society, and yet we keep regulating not only how the family can be created, but we do a parent’s job for them.

We try to help people in other nations with financial aid, while we also have the world’s largest national debt and an incredibly poor healthcare insurance system, as well as Social Security.

We pride ourselves on being a democracy, and yet we give a lot of power to appointed officials that did not win a single vote, but pulled the right strings.

We prosecute foreign scientists regularly, even if they’re not guilty, and yet we let all sorts of drug dealers slip under our noses.

Finally, here’s a personal anecdote, about how minorities are elevating themselves above the majority, whether they know it or not.

I was talking with one of my cousins, who was a vice president in a biotech firm. He mentioned how the company was forced to hire janitors from different underrepresented minorities. So they hired one, and this janitor, being illiterate, managed to walk through THREE LINES OF DECONTAMINATION with alarms going off and all sorts of warning signs, and failed to pay attention. He then proceeded to enter the lab, and contaminated and destroyed $50,000 worth of property. The kicker? The company wasn’t allowed to fire him because he was a minority.

This is just one of the reasons why serious change needs to be implemented in our country.
