There's a young man who works at a convenience store near me.

2. I'm getting that from immigrants in my area

People may not know but Anchorage has so many different, beautiful cultures. They are comfortable talking to me about it and I get a sense of fear, not only of deportations, but of boycotts. They worry that people will not buy from them (they have gotten comments like that)and are glad to see people like me coming in more, just to check.
I go buy pizza from the shop down the street more since this muslim ban. People can be nasty. And the crazy thing is they get comments about being arabs and muslim and they are Indian.
You would think that in a state like this where we are all pretty much newcomers in some way excepts alaska natives, that folks woukd try to be more respectful and empathetic. We have people from EVERYWHERE.
