In my daily sheltered life in the Bay Area, I hardly ever see overt racism. And when it happens, it bothers me.
If I’d see it happen on a daily basis, it would seriously impact my quality of life.
I see nothing wrong with saying: don’t move to this or that place because racism is rampant, even if 75% of inhabitants are not.
- lwhalen 7y agoYou're making a (large, most likely incorrect) assumption that 25% of a given town is made up of ra(p|c)ists. I suspect if you got down to it, you'd find it's most like 1% or less in the 'bad' areas, and the major difference of the makeup between 'rural' and 'coastal-urban' is that 1% in the rural area is incredibly vocal.
