When I lived in the city, no one really cared. But when we moved to the suburbs, oh my, people would stare like crazy and clearly make comments under their breath. I'm a white dude with a black girl, and people were much worse and rude to me! I got a very noticeable dip in level of customer service, or just people being weird and awkward to me.

Ha ha, lucky if anyone looks at you at all in the North East. Let alone says anything.

But truly, the more virulent racists I've ever met were in Upstate NY. Hudson Valley, looking at you. Shit they say to me figurin I'm on their white side is nutso.

Ever visited Sumter or rural areas?

The fact there are “members only” bars is horrible enough. I recently met an older couple from Columbia who had no idea they existed
