Sounds like a great trip!
I agree, that racism is mostly from one's environment/teaching. However, there is some interesting research that reveals evidence of in-group biases early on in life.
This is an interesting video detailing such research at Yale
My wife is from the Philippines. If I told you the stories her Mom and Dad told about the Japanese army it would make you sick. Pure evil.
In a round-a-bout way he is saying he overstayed. With a B1/B2 you can only stay for 180 days at a time. The P-1 athlete Visa is different. You can stay for five yrs at a time and file an extension for up to ten yrs. Some of the regs for a P-1: https://www.eahimmigration.com/prac...rs/p-1-visa-artists-athletes-and-entertainers
Apparently, there are special visas available for exceptional people...musicians, techies etc.
Pool players can get them but Superman might be the only Pinoy who has one.
Some good men are going to bat for Dennis,,,Roy Ariel of Roy’s Basement, Buff and Joe Long of NOLA.
The Fillers are applying for a couple.
I think Dennis has a chance.

Second Visa violation.
He's gonna need a good immig. lawyer and some luck. If his Visa was cancelled getting a new P-1 may be a tough sell. Could be looking at a long wait to get a new one.

Racism is a action it's not a bias. For instance enslaving a person is a action. People (all people of all colors) dislike people and groups of people (a bias. Human nature). Often they dislike groups of people or just individuals within their own race. And sometimes they dislike a persion or group of people of another race. this is human and doesn't become racism until a act such as enslaving a person is done. As well not all acts of disrespect make it to the racism label. Not all disrespect is racism. Enslaving a person is in fact racism. Racism is extreme.

True- that is an important clarification.
There is a strong tendency towards in group biases of various sorts- not just based on race, whether it be ethnicity, religion, or even sports team allegiances.
Americans are still welcome everywhere. Some Americans, much like some of my fellow Brits and some others manage to rub locals up the wrong way wherever they go. That's unfortunately a by product of American exceptionalism, British elitism and similar brain dead mindsets from other entitled nations where the media builds an "us and them as two separate universes" wall around us. While a mildy annoying "local" might want to engage us in a one dimensional chat about politics or an innane conversation about who is the best NBA or EPL player, 99% of people just want to get to know us regardless of where we are from.

Too bad. Guy can shoot for sure. I will say as a kid my dad worked in various countries overseas that required Visa's. I got to travel to a couple of the safer ones. One thing he tought me is never go anywhere without your papers period.
What you got against Trump?
He's a traitor...just like you?
This visa exception is news to me but why is it news to Dennis?
^^^^^^ this explains a lot
Good thing you come across like a young Dale Carnegie.
FWIW, I don’t consider him being banned any worse than anybody else being banned for the same infractions. Just because he plays pool well doesn’t give him any higher priority to me.
