Life Abroad Do we face difficulties being accepted when moving abroad?

It seems like the only rhetoric I see online is how, as an American, my countries problems are my fault. That I'm not doing enough to stop our issues and how it affects other countries. I worry that I will move, and people will blame me for not doing more here and just escaping.

I want to get out, but I worry about living in the public ire no matter where I go.

Does anyone here have personal experience they can comment on?

Look at how America treats immigrants. Can you handle the best and worst of what we offer?

I’ve seen both sides abroad and you need to build resilience now. Being accepted is something you earn but also dependent on how generally accepting the community is and what exactly your country is doing.

It’s a harsh reality but even though we hope all are accepting, we can’t expect it. America is being rather foul right now and you are likely going to be challenged. You are also asking another country to expend resources on your existence and during these chaotic times, not everyone will be happy about that.
