Dear Argumentative Atlantant,

Glad to see your points/ arguments.

My responses are given below in bold with links to data and details.

We are not fighting with the majority or joining the minority. We are fighting for fairness of justice and fighting against hate and discrimination in this country in society, politics, workplaces and the media.

Why don’t you fight in your country of origin successfully and then come and fight here in the USA

Have you heard the?e devastating story of the hate that caused the murder of Srinivas Kuchibhotla in Olathe, Kansas in 2017?

The Homicides per 100,000 people is 5.3 in the USA, is higher than 3.2 in India. Wrong time wrong place and inappropriate response are reasons for Mr. Srinivas Kuchibhotla ‘s death. Over three million Indians are living in this country. I lived in Bronx, NY. Poeple of his age group has much higher % chances of death in India. Pleease visit for details.

Have you heard the story of the grandfather Sureshbhai Patel, who was slammed to the pavement by an Alabama police officer that left him partially paralyzed. After 4 years, the police officer walked off scott free, as the jury couldn’t find any ‘crime’ in the actions of the police!

Please see the recent Sadhu’s killing in India as an example.

So, please stop suggesting we need to join hands with oppressors or stay silent in the face of injustice because it somehow benefits our Indian community.

If the Americans are oppressors, why do IMMIGRANTS stand in a line and beg for a visa to get into the country that oppresses?

On the contrary, we need to fight for human dignity and fundamental rights, and for justice and equality for everyone in this country that we adopted as our own.

According to United Nations Development Program, Human Development index report 2019, The USA stands at 15th Rank for the Human Iequalkity of the 189 raked, making it far above and better than the countries where these immigrants came form.

There is plenty to fight in the country of origin for all the immigrants. Please let them get better at the fight in their country and come to the USA.

We all need to work towards keeping it inclusive for us and our kids by being proactive in politics here at the State, local & National level instead of being driven by subcontinental politics. We all may have a soft corner for our country of origin but the policies in our adoptive country are the ones that impact our near & dear ones more.

If you are concerned about you and your kids’ future you have the option to go back to the country wherever you cam reform BUT the citizens of the USA do NOT have a country to go back.

We celebrate our freedom today on July 4, and we exercise it on November 3rd to vote in elections; and we also exercise our right to protest in order to help fight against the country descending back into the days of slavery, oppression, and open racism.

The baseless /data less calims on slavery and opperssion in 2020 is meaningless in the USA, in particular, by the immigrants.

show me a country/ population where there is no racism and discrimination?

We owe it to this great country.

Glad you agreed! This is a ‘Great Country ‘, so be humble!

We are still happy we immigrated to this great nation and will strive to uphold the values that make us love America.

Thanks.

Yes, that's what I requested in my article.

Do love, NO hate & No fight!
