I don't want to doubt this man's experience, but I find it strange that he did not experience any anti-immigrant, wrongful discrimination or fear between 1977 and 2016. I recall a huge onslaught of problems and discrimination/violence against people who appeared even a little bit like the hijackers after 9-11. I heard the term "Towelhead" frequently - and the current US President made racist comments at that time. Before recent times, Biden was hardly considered anything but a crude, foolishly-speaking retro racist.
