I am so glad u are now in the USA :)
Its coz of racists jerks like you that there was a war here in the first place.
Feeling at home in the US? Unlikely...must be awful to have no country to call home. No wonder you are so bitter.

Let us enjoy congratulating OUR country representative. Just coz you dont have one, don't rain on our parade.
