Replying to a comment on:

More Than The World (Free verse) by XOXScottishgrlXOX

I love You more than anything on Earth I have hope and faith in You Because of You Lord I am alive I was put here for a purpose Life will lead me to many places Some will be good and some bad I love You more than the world Everyone has their own problems But because of You Ican get through them No matter what comes my way You are with me You teach me lessons when I have done wrong When I am down I know I can come to You Even though some people don't believe You still love them I love You more than the world

See usage note for "He" at Dictionary.com

I don't think your either racist or a chauvinist but I do think "Everyone has his own problems" is chauvinistic in the tradition of so many other words that put him and not her into the words spoken by MANkind. The immigrant comment you must admit did appear to have an ever so slight racist undertone.

"We all have our own problems" sounds fine to me and maybe even is a little more self-inclusive.
