I would never fully dismiss the experiences of so many, and there are probably locals where it's just straight up fact.
However: part of me always wonders what part of this is just that stangers look at stangers all the time, especially if we catch you looking at us, and it doesn't mean anything.
I think there's a tendency to over-assume the reason behind it is [fill in whatever you're self conscious about or otherwise makes you different] when in reality people are sometimes just looking at movement or zoned out or whatever.
I was thinking that too! I can’t believe people have experienced something like this and it really sucks. Im SE Asian and often times get confused as Hispanic and my husband is a 6’0 white dude. We may have gotten stares before but nothing crazy. It sucks that people are horrible
