While USA may be a shitbox place to live it must be better than whatever part
of Asia or Russia. They may not have heard of Scandinavia or Australasia
(places that rate way higher up the scale for liveability and happiness).

We have Asian ladies working at work - and a Russian woman. There is also a
person from USofA - although he has surrendered his US citizenship and become
and Aussie.

Perhaps USA is just a stepping stone to Australia ...

I haven't notice any Iranians at work - although we do have Muslims from
overseas.

When I was travelling in South America I was constantly assumed to be
USAmerican - and then treated in a less than friendly manner. When I convinced
people that I was not one of Bush's mob (it was in those days) they were far
more affable. In the end I found a little NZ flag badge and pinned that to my
hat. While they may not have recognised where it came from, they could see that
it was NOT USAmerican.
