Looking at America spiraling down into racisme, hate, etc... as a non-american is like reading a Lovecraftian tale: starring into the abyss of contempt, chaos, and bigotry… it also makes me sad. (beehaw.org)

I know that America has been built on the blood of the natives. I know that the country’s been racist for a very long time.

But I also see the good. I balance this pessimistic vision with all the creatives, nice folks from America.

It’s not just the consumerism, the racism & the guns. It’s the diversity, the craziness, and the exploration of a big country full of nature.

My country is a lot of things, for good and bad.
