There is definitely places in America where, if you're born into that environment, your chances of getting out are really, really limited.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you live in a squalid environment, then of course you are going to want to get out of it, you are probably going to want to get into the country, because that's what it does.
I never really made a choice to live in America, so I should be aware of the social strata outside of the ones that I may live in.
The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.
As a black person in America, I am twice as likely as a white person to live in an area where air pollution poses the greatest risk to my health. I am five times more likely to live within walking distance of a power plant or chemical facility - which I do.
America is a place where the freedom to be who you are shouldn't be a barrier to your ability to get a job and provide for your family.
If I ever had to emigrate, I would probably go to America.
If you're from Dublin, for example, chances are you live with your family, if you're lucky enough to, right up to the mid-20s. And most of the people I know, when they finally sort of set off on their own, they don't stray all that far.
With this crazy lifestyle, you have to think of places where you can still have your freedom.
America is a place where you can be born into a low-income household but still lift yourself up, and it doesn't matter what color you are.
I can travel anywhere in the world and I can pretty much fit in.
