After President Trump’s racist tweets attacking four congresswomen of color, telling them to “go back” to the “places from which they came,” we asked our readers if they had ever been told to “go back” to another country.
The resolution House Democrats plan to pass condemning President Trump for his xenophobic, offensive tweets over the weekend is just that — a resolution, without consequences or punishment.“I was told to “go back where you came from” when I was in the fifth grade, by a group of my classmates, all of whom were white.
“I was born in a small town in North Carolina. My mother is from California and my father is from Massachusetts. My father served in the military. It had everything to do with the color of my skin, if I was white like my mom I doubt he would tell me to go back to Scotland.”“I’m a fourth-generation Angeleno and Japanese American and have been told to go back to where I came from throughout my life. It hasn’t happened in L.A.
“I grew up in NYC but when my dad moved us down to Florida and I was the only Russian in the school, I was constantly threatened by kids telling me I’m a ‘commie’ and to ‘go back to Russia.’ This made me resent my heritage and culture and rebel against it for years.”“When I was 13, I attended an art program for gifted students. As one of the few African American girls in the program, I felt I needed to try harder to fit in with my peers.
“It made me feel angry, ashamed and very sad that people would feel that about me and how I looked. I always felt out of place growing up and did not consider myself American because I was constantly asked where I was from as if I did not belong here, although I was born in the U.S.”“I was 15 years old in pre-AP world history in Amarillo, Texas.
