AIO for potentially cancelling my US trip?
AIO? I (36F) am reconsidering a trip to the US with my partner (36M) and two other friends. For context, I'm of South Asian heritage, post 9/11 I experienced an increase in racism, and could not go through an airport without being pulled aside for additional bomb testing/security checks (this still happens in some places now). I feel I am often profiled at stores too, I get my bags checked all the time, my white friends don't experience any of this. Racist people think I'm Middle Eastern, but I've also been asked if I'm Hispanic and all number of races. I'm basically an ambiguous brown person. Also we're both Australian Citizens so we are allowed to travel on a tourist visa.
Today I told my partner that I'm concerned for my safety and freedom if I go on the trip. I'm very left leaning, if I'm stopped at the US border and have my phone or macbook searched I assume I'll either be sent back or detained. I'm pro palestine and anti trump, I would have to completely wipe every chat and social media account and even then I'm sure the data could be recovered.
He says I'm over reacting and not thinking logically, would love to hear some other takes on this.
Edit: Thanks all for your responses, I wish I had time to reply to so many of you. Particularly thankful for the kindness extended by the majority. Canada or Japan are both looking good right now.
I'd also like to mention that I am so sad for what is happening there, and my heart goes out to all of you that did not choose this government. My silly trip is nothing compared to anyone dealing with this day to day.
