The Northern Virginia doctor knows at least that much about his situation. He knows he is no longer considered a citizen of the United States — the place where he was born, went to school and has practiced medicine for more than 30 years — and that he also belongs to no other place.
A letter from a State Department official informed him that he should not have been granted citizenship at the time of his birth because his father was a diplomat with the Embassy of Iran. The letter directed Sobhani to a website where he could apply for lawful permanent residence.
Thank you for the actual explanation. That actually makes sense in a very technically correct way. Hopefully they can at least fast track his naturalization.
Your ignorance is showing
Your right wing is naked
You can’t say shit like that without an explanation.
Looking at their comment history, they were probably just mad I didn’t say anything specifically anti US in that specific comment.
Haha. I guess not. I just thought the US’s anti immigrant policies were common knowledge by now but maybe not (or maybe it just wasn’t clear what I was saying from the context).
There’s absolutely no way in hell anyone gets their naturalization fast tracked (that’s nearly insulting levels of ignorance, imo)
You can have your opinion or state true facts. But it’s condescending to call people ignorant or saying that they’re being at an insulting level of ignorance. If you explain your point instead of calling names, you may entice people to learn and understand, and we all win. Otherwise, well… you can guess.
Fair enough though. Again, I thought it was common knowledge by now - what with all the kids in cages and whatnot.
It’s always surprising how much faith people continue to have in our demonstrably horrible institutions.
Edit: I should also clarify, I’ve never seen ignorance as a bad word. It’s literally the default state for all the information we’ve yet to learn.
And yet you use it as one when saying “that’s insulting levels of ignorance.”
It can be an insult but it doesn’t have to be. I mean, I’m literally specifying it as such in that sentence. I don’t see ignorance as a bad word. I consider it the default state. There’s lots of things I’m ignorant of - caring for horses, for example.
The definition of ignorant is literally something basic like lacking knowledge.
We agree on definitions, but not intent.
By your first reply alone, it looked like you wanted to diminish the other person by calling out their ignorance. Whether or not that was your intention, can you admit that you came off like that?
