I'm native blood so my country is lovely, it's the colonial system that favors the white and wealthy that I hate. Your system isn't built for people who look like me, and it doesn't care what happens to me.
Hey, so we were taking about how the fact that you have, "Indian blood" meant that the system was stacked against you. I said I would mention that to my wife, who has status.
What I'm wondering is this: When I consider my family, daughter number 1 who is a department head at an NHS hospital in London, daughter number 2 who is in med school, son (the youngest) who is planning to become an engineer, my wife's younger brother who is a mining engineer and mine manager at a larger copper mine in Arizona, wife's youngest brother who is a software engineer and a senior developer and program manager at Microsoft, and our friends who are successful small business owners, small farmers, and retired teachers if the decisions you have made don't have a much bigger impact on how you're making your way through life than a historical disadvantage you might have, if any.
Perhaps you have been convinced that the system is stacked against you to manipulated you into voting against your own self-interest?
I'll be sure to let my wife (who is Raven Clan) know that.
