Charlie nodded, recalled something, and asked him, “Lord Fox, as far as you know, have there been many cases where compatriots harm their own compatriots in the United States over the past few years?”
Jordan smiled awkwardly and said seriously, “There have indeed been many such cases. In fact, this kind of thing has been commonly seen in the United States...”
Having said that, Jordan said again, “Of course, it’s not just our Oskian compatriots who are in this situation. In truth, people from other countries are also facing similar problems.”
After pausing for a moment, Jordan explained, “As you know, the United States is a country of immigrants, so the composition of the population here is very complex. There are many ethnic minorities, and there are often two extremes to these ethnic minorities due to the new arrivals and language barrier.”
“The first extreme is that they would get particularly close to their fellow countrymen. Everyone would be closely knitted together to take care of each other, work together, and be extremely united. This is how Oskiatown and Koreatown were built. Of course, there are many gangs composed of ethnic minorities, and gangs are also growing for this reason.”
“The other extreme is that there are some very individual people. In order to take root in the United States, they will choose to do something detrimental to others that would benefit themselves because of the language barrier and unfamiliar environment as well as the fact that they do not dare to mess with the local people. There is a small group of people who will take advantage of their compatriots who are less vigilant, and they will specifically choose to start with their own compatriots.”
“This kind of person has a twisted mind, but if you ask him to swindle Americans, he would not be able to speak a complete sentence in English. Instead, he would only be able to curse at Americans. Even if he wanted to defraud Americans, he would not have the strength to do so. He has a wicked mind but nowhere to use it, so he certainly will not turn his back on his thoughts. He can only find an outlet for it, and in this case, his compatriots are the easiest way out for him.”
