Sorry mate, but why the "despite being a white male". Like seriously, what's up with that? Amazing story, but that just made me a bit angry. Sounds like you are saying that white people can never struggle, or experience hardships.

Sorry for the confusion. Just to explain why I included that part, is that white males in his age range are generally portrayed as the most anti-immigration. A lot of people assume because of his age and ethnicity that he is anti-immigration. People tend to forget that it hasn't been that long since white immigrants also faced discrimination.
So the "despite being a white male" part was kind of ironic sarcasm on my part, since I've spent a lot of my adulthood being argued with that white males can't experience discrimination.
