    I am from Boston, northeast has always been super racist and still is.

    We just hide our racism by using different words, like ‘those people’.

      Well yeah, but there’s also naked and aggressive racism, like lynchings, for example, that I just didn’t notice before. I mentioned where I’m from because I also thought that only happened “in the south.”

      Neither is acceptable, to be clear, and both happen all over the US, tragically.
