    So I moved from an extremely racist shithole to a much less racist area in the aughts. That’s pretty much my perspective. I couldn’t compare much because literally I’m not being woken up by racial slurs every morning anymore. I may be an outlier if you think you’re trying to prove something.

      In my experience racist places are even more racist now. Of course all of this is subjective, and not substantiated by data. But even just reading the news these days seems to substantiate my experience. Congratulations on getting away from the shit hole you were in back then!

        Thanks. It feels weird sometimes. I haven’t even been invited to a book burning in over a decade and I’m wondering if I don’t fit in.
