    The whole “how will you contribute to being a productive American” comment from Gino’s family irked me 😭🙃🥴

    Maybe because I’m foreign myself and when we moved here a lot of people would through that comment around to my family in a way that made it seem like we were lazy and would amount to nothing 🫣

    Not sure what jasmines plans are but yeah.

      I’m American and I found the statement completely off-putting. Especially coupled with the cowboy hat knockoff he was wearing, lol. 🤡🤠 Even if Jasmine’s plans are to be a SAHM with her kids, that’s between her and Gino.

        I live a stones throw away from Ginos’s area and I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen a guy wearing a cowboy hat except for maybe Halloween.

        It funny they’re trying to make his Midwest town like some kind of stereotypical rural, hick good ol’ boy type place. lol.

      Even though a lot of that is just part of the script, I’d be concerned if a family member’s GF took his money meant for a wedding dress and secretly got a butt lift instead.

      Honestly, I would have not answered as politely as Jasmine did.

      Very insulting framing. It was clearly suggesting that she might be a leech.

      A simple “what are your professional plans here?”, or a nice phrasing that assumes he has some certification and left a career in Panama like “can you continue your career here? Do you need to validate some of your certifications here?”.
