@soccerguy315 "I think the fact that the OP's kid is legally here makes a big difference."
Actually, that makes it WORSE. Clearly the person making the comment was basing it on the daughter's LOOKS, and not her actual legal right to be here. The likelihood that he'd say the same to a Caucasian immigrant from say, Poland, is pretty small. All this talk of deportation is not being aimed at those who look like us. It's being directed as non-whites, just like the OP's bully did.
