    Well, let me tell you what I see on the news every day, gang members with chili bowl haircuts, 14 years old killing other 14-year-olds. Where are their parents? The chili bowl haircut I am talking about, is called the “Edgar”, comes from Central America. In Central America, too, 14-year-olds kill other 14-year-olds. First generation immigrants tend to be more grateful when coming to a better country with a better society. However, their children are not as grateful, don’t appreciate the vast differences that make a developed country better than the place their parents escaped from. It is actually the 2nd generation that commits more crime. The people to suffer the most are the poor citizens who have to deal with more bad apples. Now there is an American gang-related subculture, creates rich people, for example rappers, with genres like gangsta rap. Rappers who sold many copies of their music get shot too. It is not uncommon. A lot of American music genres actually promotes antisocial behavior, and it isn’t just relegated to rap. Music is culture.

      Classifying a person based on a haircut is just lazy racism.

      However, their children are not as grateful, don’t appreciate the vast differences that make a developed country better than the place their parents escaped from.

      Calling bullshit on this. If you believe that, you don’t know many immigrants. If you do know a lot of immigrants, you would have to personally know their entire families.

      It sounds to me that you are just regurgitating opinion news. So much so, you actually believe it to be true. The one or two instances that you have seen the behaviors you described just kicked the confirmation bias into overdrive. Also, because of your glaring biases, you are likey to only remember instances of crime committed by a specific race.

      Let’s take your perspective and twist it: A majority of the hard core conservatives I know are felons or deal in drugs or illegal weapons. (This is actually true, btw.) That must mean that all conservatives are criminals and drug dealers, right? From my perspective, it would be easy to make that assumption, but I don’t. Many of those people are blatantly racist as well, so take that for what it is.

      That’s hilarious that you’re scared of a shitty haircut. That’s also called a ‘bowl’ and was popular in the US in the 70s and 80s.
