When my parents immigrated to Ohio in the 1970s, they were welcomed to a generous land. People didn’t know much about India, where they came from, but they asked questions. They shared recipes. They offered rides. They nicknamed my dad G-12 because of his long name.

When one American friend took my mother shopping at a mall, she prevented a minor disaster by explaining that you have pay for items at the store where you bought them. Not at the exit of the mall.

My parents didn’t just become Americans. They were helped to become Americans. They were surrounded by people who loved their country so much that they were proud to share it. Who weren’t necessarily cosmopolitans themselves but also weren’t racist.

As I think of this election, I think of the many white people who shaped my parents’ early life in America. There is something in their spirit that we need to reconnect with as a country. National pride leading to welcoming, not walls. Otherness inspiring curiosity, not cruelty.

Tomorrow is many things. And one of them is a chance for white America to show what it is made of. A chance for it to send an unambiguous roar of love into the world. A chance to own the truth that this country has always stayed truest to itself by changing.

Call two of your friends today, and ask them if they need a ride to the polls tomorrow. This is especially important for the young and very old. They may need your help to get there, so they can vote.

It’s the difference between me living into old age like my Diabetic father did or not being able to afford life.

American voters never disappoint when it comes to voting the stupidest and most ignorant and vile people into office. I am not holding my breath, my people are really stupid and ignorant at best.

Thank you for sharing your personal, family stories
@AnandWrites Along with voting tomorrow, I strongly believe that it is our personal stories that help us reconnect with one another, expose our common humanity and bring us closer together instead of further apart.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Well, is that really true? Why is Trump not merely the abject revealed truth of an American soul capable of and disposed to the Declaration and Slavery; the cynical lies of antebellum; of picnic lynchings; of police abuse; of shooting children in schools, raping them in churches?
