- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment.

My parent's WeChat keeps telling them that "illegal immgrants are living in hotels and taking all the benefits..."
So they keep regurgitating "immigrant bad" viewpoints...
...
We a family of immigrants... (we're legal but still, those in power doesn't care about the difference)
there are a lot of xenophobes of a certainoarty that wants us gone...
We are not white...
My mom was literally the one that first taught me about the Chinese Exclusion Act...
🤦♂️
Protip: Don't be anti-inmigration when you are an immigrant.
In my country it's the same. They say that most illegal immigrants coming from Africa to Italy are all extremely rich, coming with luxury yachts and that they're paid 50€ a day with all the benefits, free house, healthcare, food and internet and always with the latest phone. In reality most illegal immigrants die before being spot by the coast guard and after they arrive they get drugged and deported to be enslaved in the countryside or be forced into drug trafficking. If they don't do that the will be shot or get tortured to death
