“…”tolerant attitudes” were “largely explained by increased positive contact with individuals from different cultures” and the positive associations created by the sensory experience of eating good food.”

I don't have any special love for the Yankees any more. Disgusted contempt captures it. But I am rooting for Aaron Judge to go silverback gorilla on an ump who calls a bad strike. just tear a leg off and beat the guy to death

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.
