I'd just not worry about politics. Make a good story that draws the reader in. There will be things that come into the writing just by nature of the writer's worldview, that's inevitable. What isn't is using a character as a soapbox to expound on your political manifesto.

It's maddening. And they don't even see there's a problem. You can point to demographics and the problems younger Christian men and women are having finding someone to marry but they just don't see it. It's just a "Man up and stop being lazy" to the men and "you're the pearl of great price so wait till the end of time" to the women, among many problems the Church has on this issue.

My mother's side has been here since the 1600s but my father's the 1950s. Where would that put me?

I'm a quarter Colombian and sure I have no ties whatsoever to the country but I could see myself invoking that race card if I, for whatever reason, end up trying for a Fortune 500 job lol

Biological dad is bilingual as is his mom so I definitely have a stronger case than even members of Congress

That, and the government was—despite the Enlightenment-era optimism of its founders—designed for a particular people at a particular time. It worked for a country whose people were Christian, who primarily came from the British Isles, and who were largely predisposed to self-governance and independence. We today—almost a quarter of a millennium later—are none of these.

Neither, the idea of him coming back with an alt's just amusing to me 🤷‍♂️
