I dislike when diversity is advertised, but there is no inclusion, because that's what matters - inclusion.

Unfortunately ...
Unfortunately Americans aren't very friendly, because a lot of people cannot be trusted. We afraid to get close to people, no matter who they are, because we are afraid that people are out to get us. When we let our guard down we get conned or mugged.

Sadly...many of them are way worse. I've lived here long enough to learn that.

Think before you ...
Think before you speak. I was born in Bangkok, lived in Malaysia, Indonesia, and China, for 4 years until moving to the states. My mother is half Thai, my father is from the UK and works in Hong Kong where he manages a hotel and teaches at a university. I have family members living in Hong Kong, the UK, Luxembourg, Dubai, and Thailand. I regularly travel to China annually. Umm, let's not go there with the "dumb ass american" stereotype. That statement proves your ignorance. Idiot.

here's something i ...
here's something i don't get about Americans, they are so concerned with getting laid and offer advice on how to get laid, but the thing is the average American has far less sex than the Average European, and they rarely feel the "need" to offer advice on something so basic, what is it with America and their bullshit, LOL.

Americans are ...
Americans are founded on beliefs on individualism and self-identity. There is little sense of community. That is beacause Americans are all different. No longer are all Americans white. Now, they're hispanic, black, asian, etc. In Sudan, everyone is black, in that way, they have a much stronger sense of community because of that. Example, Irish people have a strong sense of community because all of the people are of the same descent. That isn't the cam in the US, we're all SO different!

Actually I feel ...
Actually I feel that both parties are at fault here. The boy in the video makes it a point to say "They are too different". So he doesn't even ask? He just assumes because Americans do things different ways, that we must all be racist jerks. However, Americans should be more sensitive to foreigners who seem confused, don't just assume they know, ask if they are having a hard time. Seems to me that people are just people.

What Americans seem to forget is that 99% of them are not american, but a refugee of some sort

I am American and ...
I am American and watching this documentary made me so sad and disappointed...to see people come to our country and get treated so badly...if you watch the end of the documentary you will see that many actually become pretty successful. It definitely opened my eyes quite a bit, this scene really makes me sad because everyone in America is so afraid of people, when most people are so nice. There is a scene where someone calls the police on them just because they were walking in a large group.

well at least they ...
well at least they are honest lol :X kind of like the russians. If they want to invade another country for example, they just do it and don't make up some lies to justify it. ("they have nukes, we need to invade now!" etc). On the other hand, the more democratic the country is and the more the people there look caucasian, the more they get supported by western countries. Do you hear me Iranians? You NEED to look caucasian as soon as possible :P

sorry I thought ...
sorry I thought this is common knowledge. I shouldn't have said "America", I didn't mean the american people, I mean the US government. They are supporting dictators, if the US gets their trading agreements in return. The more democratic they get, the worse for US economy. Its very sad to hear that you have problems with fanatics down there, I still hope, you'll never get racist or something because of this. Religion and no education is always a dangerous mix.
