Like so many others whom the racists hate and want to ethnically cleanse, Alyssa Liu is an American through and through. Even, I would say, more American than they are. She’s the one who truly pulled herself up by her skate-laces, her refugee family coming here with nothing, and rising to the top of elite athletics to win the gold medal at the Olympics.
That is the American dream and it makes me prouder to be an American than I’ve felt in some time.
