No cash anywhere, all the books and inventory gone.&lt;p&gt;His employees had figured out how his business worked, started their own business within his business, siphoned off the cash and profits and took him hook, line and sinker.&lt;p&gt;When the locals were asked why they did it, they said it was simple...&amp;quot;he was a foreigner, and he deserved it.&amp;quot;</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>rhegart</author><text>We take America too much for granted. I came as an immigrant child 25 years ago and aside from maybe 4-5 relatively minor incidents, I haven’t faced any major racism. Considering that I have maybe 2 dozen interactions daily and have encountered likely 10,000 people in my life that’s quite extraordinary. A recent survey came out that 60% of millennial believe America is one of the most racist countries in the world.&lt;p&gt;Have significant immigration to any other country and watch the tribalism rise up. America post 1990s has been the most welcome place for mass immigration in human history.&lt;p&gt;In regards to China, I think they are great with foreigners. Urban China is quite fantastic. Might get a few dirty stares if with a Chinese woman but all things considered that’s not bad at all. Hopefully soon it’ll get better over the coming decades.</text></comment>

Including a lot of uncomfortable call outs
