I would suggest that it's your avoidance of talking to strangers that makes you think this is how a lot of them think. And it kind of proves the point that society can suffer because of it. If you went out tomorrow and talked to 100 random strangers for 10mins I'd be surprised if any of them complained about minorities.
- XorNot 4mo agoThat is statistically unlikely. Almost everyone has a "racist uncle" type story and that's what, out of 10 people in your family tops? Chances are at least 20 of them would.
- BoingBoomTschak 4mo agoMost of the racist uncles don't use that as first subject with complete strangers, that's more of a family thing.

- fundad 4mo agoI said in my post that I DO talk to strangers. It makes me feel good when that’s what I want. It’s also true that most of y’all are sus AF.
- poncho_romero 4mo agoI find your negative view of humanity saddening. I think most people are basically good.
- angiolillo 4mo agoThat is my experience as well -- most people are basically good. But my personal experience has also been that the sort of people who ignore social cues and try and chat someone up who is wearing headphones while riding public transit or working out are generally less good.
- poncho_romero 4mo agoI think there is some truth to that, especially on public transit.
