alt Hacker Newsnot my experience. sure, wherever i go i will always be an outsider. the difference is whether i am welcome or not.
even as a german i have not felt welcome anywhere in germany (i grew up im austria).
i have been around the world and lived in a number of countries. i felt more welcome in china and even in the US for example than anywhere in europe

That might be down to your personality... or the language barrier in the case of China (or you were in China before Xi or very early in his reign).

Are you white? Try being non-white. Chinese people, and most Asians - yes, the entire continent, or at least most of it - are deferent to white people.

The US is one of, if not the most, welcoming countries in the world. Additionally, I suppose you probably lived in a city or at least a large town in the US rather than anywhere rural or more closed-off.
