America was built by immigrants. Shoot, a lot of it was built by s**** labour. The western world owes minorities their wealth and prosperity. Trump becoming president would be a slap in the face to people of colour the world over. I have faith in the American people though, don’t make the mistake us Brits made in our last election and elect a corporatist hypocrite. You can’t – not after Obama. It’s social s******.
Good job for the girls using their platform!
