 As a foreigner to this country, Suyeol has a different perspective on American politics based on different lived experiences. The rioting that he sees on the news scares him and he is worried about his safety. He saw on the news that some Korean stores had been destroyed. I am very disappointed in my country and tried to tell him that this is not who we are; but the truth is that there are some deeply rooted racial tensions that Americans have trouble dealing with. I do not know if the conversation eased his worry, but I am hopeful that he better understands the history of this country.
