Druid: It’s Bigotry Pure & Simple

Arch Druid (Another happy Benewah reader): The last time I had ever heard, “Go back to where I came from,” was back in grade school. And being the little smart mouth that I was, I quite simply asked, at around 10 years old, how was I supposed to get back inside my mother? Even some 40 odd years later, I still remember that. “Go back to where you came from,” is pure bigotry no matter how you slice it. It says that there are certain people who simply can not handle difference of opinion in a diverse country.

Question: Have you ever been told by someone: "Go back where you came from"?
