My interview with Rinku Sen, author of "Accidental American."

Quoted: “We are all accidental Americans in some way,” writes Rinku Sen, offering up serious food for thought in “The Accidental American: Immigration and Citizenship in the Age of Globalization”. “Sometimes the accidents were happy ones—an unexpected chance to come to the United States, or the good fortune of being born into privilege. For others, the accidents were tragic and violent.”

This is such an amazing op-ed piece.

Quoted: In no other country could Barack Obama have risen so far and so fast. Such boundless possibility is what America once stood for and can stand for again.

Quoted: One of America’s first post 9/11 hate crime murders punctuated a growing wave of violence against Sikhs in retaliation for the terror attacks.

"Brown? Brown. It's fine Jon...I know I'm brown. But i'm from India. I'm tech support/cardiologist brown, not dishwasher/Los Angeles parking attendant brown. I say this with no disrespect, Jon."

Anyone potentially interested in attending this on the 18th?

This is the downside (if you are pro-U.S.) of tougher immigration policies in the U.S.

Quoted: Microsoft Corp. said on Thursday it will open a software development center in Vancouver, giving it a place to employ skilled workers snagged by U.S. immigration quotas.
