    I’m going to be honest with you, having lived in both a developing country (where I grew up in Asia) and then the US for a few years, the US is infinitely better if you don’t want to deal with casual racism, casual sexism and casual homophobia in your everyday life.

    Maybe not so much of a problem if you’re a white foreigner and don’t mingle with the locals, but if you grow up in the local culture you’d be surprised to see how normalized reactionary opinions are until you have lived in liberal Western countries.

    What you really want is to move to a liberal American/European city. It’s infinitely better.
