  1. Interesting but the timing of promoting Virginia as a culturally diverse state is questionable.

  2. great. another race of people Americans will stereotype in movies and tv-shows, racially profile and harrass in their communities and by extension any part of America they migrate to or just happen to be visiting family in, and marginalize and prevent from getting "equal" opprunities in America whether it be passive aggressively, by subdueing the expression of themselves in public spaces, and work environments, by stating that "this is America and we speak English here", asking to "speak to someone else/someone in the US", pearl clutching, should their religious rites and beliefs clash with the "Christian" values that have been enshrined in the constitution, and by extension, the way of life for most Americans because they see Church and State are seemingly inseparable, and anyone practicing otherwise is one step away from indoctrination and terrorism, claiming terms like "melting pot", "diverse" "inclusive" only because it sounds good but is not an apt description of most people's feelings considering laws have been amended, social programs have been designed to make them feel welcome, but for others, it is encroaching on their right as "Americans", given to them by the 1st amendment

  3. Really, just variations on Portuguese and Spanish cultures, when you think about it. Oh, but we wear slightly different hats, they'll say. Oh, I didn't notice, I'll say (I did). 🤡

  4. Trump supporters telling her to go back to Mexico in 3…2…1….

  5. Must visit Arlingtonbamba! Love the spotlight. Thanks NBC!!

  6. Dont stick your head out, if you are a minority in America.. . . . You wil offend the Republicans .

  7. Then go back to Bolivia?
