I recently started working the USA as an Iranian born Canadian. My co-workers are openly racist, and my immediate supervisor refers to me as "Car-bomb". He does this in company meetings in front of senior management, and they laugh at his jokes. This never ends, and he has called my family (including my deceased father, who obtained a PhD in engineering from a top Canadian university) a "terror cell". I could go on, but if I do I worry that I may tender my resignation by the end of this post.

Suffice to say, the USA is a very diverse country, both with upstanding citizens who defend their freedom and are beacons of rationality, and people like my supervisor. who are weak, pathetic low-lives who have been spoon fed propaganda via their televisions for their entire lives, learning to fear all that is different from them and thus supporting oppressive government regimes.

To all those who swallow the "american dream" BS hook line and sinker: you have been warned. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

I will be returning to Canada as soon as I possibly can. For reference, I work at a large multinational engineering company as a professional engineer with many years of work experience.
