I would not put my worst enemy into that humiliating situation.
Applying for a US visa is for the desperate, or those who don’t mind to be utterly and downright humiliated.

Never really understood why the sexual life or preferences of a person is important for getting a tourists visa.

Many, to be sure, have lived and studied abroad. But this also was in comfortable and insular circumstances. They had financial security — thanks to a fellowship or tuition that was paid for by mom and dad. And as exotic as things were, they could leave whenever they wanted. They probably had insurance to provide for an emergency medical evacuation – straight back to the states.

In reality, such people never really get to know the country they visit; and nor do they learn the value of their own country as a result of living abroad. Never do they need to worry about crashing currencies, rigid social structures, or arbitrary conduct on the part of police or other officials. Moreover, most of the locals with whom they associate are other elites — like themselves — who hold America in low regard and thus confirm their own world views.

To cure them of their anti-Americanism, they should be required to live abroad for a few years…but be made to live like an ordinary person! And they should be required to visit a U.S. Embassy on a regular basis to see all those ordinary people lining up to apply for U.S. visas.

Another idea would be to require that they attend regular “cultural awarness” encounters with their colleagues from Eastern Europe and Cuba — none of whom, in my experience, think like they do.

Really? I fail to see the slaves outside the US.
You meant “was the last civilization in history to stand up and stop the practice – so far”?

I always have to laugh out loud at the “only civilization in history” type of speech.
