my brother in law was taking some law enforcement classes in the US and explained to me how they have cultural sensitivity training and proper uses of the words "african american".
they insisted that no matter what country the person is from, they MUST be african american so my cousin's boyfriend in france (who is french and black) should henceforth be called an "african american french man".
mmhmm.

Britain's immigration laws are a fucking joke. Any backward non-English speaking drug dealer or prostitute from Europe can waltz into the country and set up there, but if you're a hard working American citizen it's damn near fucking impossible.
Just like the idiots here trying to 'protect the rights' of the leechers streaming across the Mexican border, when I have to pay an assload of money and go through medical exams, fill out reams of forms and get interviewed before they'll even let me in.

i know just what you mean about those hoops, stimuli. i spent many years getting yearly blood, TB, aids test etc and getting treated like utter garbage by the "officials" at INS who couldn't put a proper sentence together.

You tried to come to Canada as well, right? Which country's process was more difficult?

Yeah, got my medical next week then have to send all my paperwork away. My visa waiver clock runs out on 11th March so they'd better be quick with that work authorization.
Canada was way more difficult Jaline... twice as much paperwork, four times the cost, four to six times the wait. I've left the application open though, you never know what could happen.

In fact, the Canada app cost eight times as much...

The price is worth it.
I'll stop now.
