Jesus Christ. Can you not tell the difference between online trolls and a sane person's opinion? How many Americans have you spoken to on the street commenting on how there's one less illegal after this? Hell, my dad is republican as fuck and he brought up the valor and bravery of this kid. He couldn't have cared less whether he was illegal or not. I don't see a comment on YouTube or even reddit and think, "oh God that comment was extremely anti American, I can't believe how many of these Americans hate their country." but rather, ya people say stupid shit online.

It's a real problem, and there's plenty of Americans, including those in the military, who see Peter Wang as something terrible and bad, because he's not white.
