So, a Taoist, a Hasidic couple, and a Muslim hop onto a subway train… Sounds like the start of a joke, right? But in reality, America hasn’t been feeling quite so united lately. With a president whose policies seem to embody racism and xenophobia, it’s hard to keep the faith. We’ve seen attempts to ban Muslims from entering the country, and the idea of trading healthcare funding for a border wall is enough to make anyone’s head spin. It’s disheartening, especially in a nation built on the backs of immigrants, where the term “immigrant” has become almost taboo.
But wait! Here comes the silver lining. America is still home to countless good-hearted folks who celebrate diversity rather than fear it. Take, for instance, a heartwarming moment captured by New York entrepreneur Leo Chang on Easter. According to various reports, Chang was on the F train heading home from brunch when he witnessed something beautiful:
“A Taoist (me) gives up his seat so a Hasidic couple could sit together,” he shared. “They then made room for a Muslim mother to sit and nurse her baby, on Easter Sunday.”
He added, “This is my America: people letting people be people.”
The post quickly went viral, racking up nearly 100,000 likes and over 70,000 shares. It’s easy to see why—this snapshot beautifully encapsulates the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our nation, with everyone just being, well, human.
“I thought it was a special moment, so I took a quick photo and shared it online,” Chang explained. “In NYC, we encounter every culture imaginable and, for the most part, we lean toward basic decency.” He noted how this moment of coexistence felt particularly poignant given the current political landscape.
Chang expressed surprise that such a simple act of kindness made headlines, but he was hopeful it resonated with so many. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with around 100,000 people engaging with his post. Sure, he received a couple of nasty messages, but that’s a small price to pay for spreading a little joy.
