Proud immigrant from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 → USA 🇺🇸 . My family and I worked hard, built a life from scratch, and we have just as much of a right to be here as anyone no matter our color, our roots, or our ethnicity.

And before anyone jumps into the comments: I’ve been a legal U.S. citizen for over 16 years. Keep your hate to yourself. ✌🏽

I self taught myself Japanese from zero
