Daily advice for HK immigrants to the West:
When you move west, it’s best to keep your political opinion about other people’s countries to yourselves until you’ve studied their constitution or common laws. No one over there needs your uninformed opinion. Start watching news in English from legitimate channels with good reputation of reporting real news (e.g. WSJ, Washington Post, NYT etc.). Stop watching HK YouTube channels run by people whose English standard is sub par and political opinions about the West distorted. I mean, really study our legal documents and even court cases in their original languages whether it’s English or French. I’m not saying to abstain from participating as citizens of other countries, but do so with a full head of knowledge. Otherwise, you’ll make the rest of us look stupid. Americans can't tell the difference between you and me. All Asians look alike to them. I'm not trying to limit your free speech. I'm just trying to experience a reasonable sense of peace when I go out and about. We Asians have lived here for a long time. We don't need non-Asian Americans to have misunderstandings about people who look like us but have no understanding of the new place.
