In the last few days I’ve started to pay particular attention to Americans in general. You know what I’ve seen? I’ve mostly seen a bunch of unsympathetic, indifferent people who could care the hell less who you are. There are attitudes. There are resting bitch faces. There is complete ignorance all around me.

I swear to you I’ve never disliked my country more than I do now — and it’s crazy because it mostly has nothing to do with what’s happening politically!

I can’t tell you how many times I would see my girlfriend’s roommates at college while walking somewhere and they wouldn’t say hi to me. Then later when I walked through the door to visit I would get half an eye-dart thrown my way and a standoffish “Hey.”
