Comment on How much of a risk is it for naturalized US Citizens (or those with Derivative Citizenship) to protest against the US government, compared to natural-born US Citizens?

Right now, I’d say absolutely don’t do it. Especially don’t do it if you live in a red state, or are in/near one of the “flashpoint” areas/institutions that are making splashy headlines now.

It’s fucked up, but that’s pragmatic advice. If you cannot deal with the possibility of being illegally detained and deported with zero recourse, you really do need to keep your head down right now, regardless of your skin color… but at the same time, be doubly careful if you’re not white.

I can’t believe I’m writing this about the United States.

Yea thanks, I was probably never gonna protest anyways, I’m not that brave lol, but I was just asking since I’m curious what were the risks for someone like me to do so.

I’m kinda feeling like Snowden at the moment. I mean like: You can criticize the government of your former country (for me that’s PRC), but kinda have to keep a low profile when it comes to the government of your current country. So yea I kinda understand what Snowden is going through.
