A Notion of Immigrants 0

A 56-year-old woman has been charged after an 18-year-old Indiana University student was repeatedly stabbed in the head on a public bus in an attack the school says was because the victim is Asian.

I could not determine whether the victim is, in fact, an immigrant. She was not identified other than as an 18-year-old student in the news reports as of this writing. I suspect there she’s likely no more an immigrant than I am.

But whether she was born here or abroad is irrelevant. What’s relevant is so many feel free to unleash their bigotry and hatred on others, sadly, with encouragement from far too many public figures.

We are devolving into an uncivil society.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
