text: Jess: Hi, how are you doing?
  Maria: hi! Nice you're writing. 
  Maria: I'm good, you?
  Jess: as well, thanks. 
  Jess: Are you still in Italy
  Maria: Sure, I like it here, generally
  Jess: generally? hahaha
  Maria: Yes, it hasn't been so nice recently here
  Jess: why? 
  Maria: General situation, growing racism, frustration, xenophobia...
  Maria: This is a bit worrying
  Jess: really? I remember Italy as welcoming and nice!
  Maria: Yes, maybe for Americans
  Jess: I see.
  Maria: not so much for Africans or Eastern Europeans
  Jess: Sad to read that
  Maria: But I think it's happening everywhere right now
  Jess: Yes, even here in the US
  Maria: Exactly...
  Jess: I was thinking about visiting
  Maria: oh, you're always welcome here
  Jess: I will write you if I know anything more
  Jess: it's only a dream for now
  Maria: ok :)
target: Maria is still in Italy but finds the general situation with growing racism, frustration, xenophobia worrying. Jess is surprised by that as she found Italy welcoming. She was thinking about visiting Maria, but it's only a dream now.
