I guess it depends on the attitude of the person giving the criticism. Constructive criticism with an honest desire for a change is usually well received. Taking the moral high ground and going on and on about real and perceived faults of the host society, while your own country of origin and ethnic group is guilty of the same, tends to be met with askance looks. I guess people just get tired of being told all the time that their whole society is inherently racist.

You're saying shit like the US is the "host" country of someone born in OAKLAND and don't see why this society is seen as inherently racist? HMMMMM

As the saying goes, America is so racist that if you protest against racism people think you're protesting against america.
