My dentist is Persian. Many members of his family immigrated here after graduating from a US college or university. He is a very conservative man who will not be voting for Republicans for the first time since becoming a citizen.

We have chatted over the past 30 years about culture, music, theater. During my last visit he informed me that one of his patients had called the FBI because of his nationality. Needless to say, the patient is persona non grata. He is one of the best dentists in Phoenix so this patient was a real fool.
