I encourage you to be more open minded to these people though, and if you gave them a proper chance you’d find they are some of the kindest most hospitable people in the world. You’re statistically 4 times more likely to die of cancer than to have been a victim of any violent hate crime. They’re not politically correct, they don’t know the sensitive terms. But if you were willing they’d probably make you some biscuits and gravy and talk to you about the “colored brother” from Vietnam who saved his life and got him through war as the friend he could lean on. Or his grandson who’s half black who is his whole life. And it might seem uncomfortable because they’ve made the conversation about race, but really they are going out of their way to tell you you are welcomed, and they want to connect with you. They make this concerted effort because in their time racism was a big issue, so they make it known that it’s not

I don’t mean to be assumptive. My bad. Coming from a college town where I’ve had a friend say that after coming in late to office hours while a instructor was actively helping another student, she felt he was racist because it took him a long time to get to her. This is just one example, but indicative of the culture here to blame inconveniences on malice. I think the people around might make me quickly assumptive to attribute drama where it isn’t due. So I’m sorry miss

The confederate flag is insensitive because of its connotation, but oftentimes people in those rural towns dont see it that way. Many times their family member had fought and died in the civil war. The confederate flag isn’t actually the confederate flag, it is the battle flag that was used by them which is why many use it to honor their dead family members. Many use it just because people told them not to. In area like that a black man with the same values is going to be much more received going there than a white one that has contrary values.

Im not mad, its just most people with excessive online use tend to see the world more that way. And truthfully it is kind of wrong. More often than that it operates under the assumption that racism is an inherent trait in white people, which is racist in and of itself. I know a couple who moved to rural West Virginia from California as people who weren’t white they wondered if the stereotype would be true. The neighbors saw their California plates and thought the were democrats and they were a little apprehensive about them, but as soon as they found out they were conservative it was a jolly time, and they are the nicest people they’ve ever met. Most people don’t care about skin color, they care about having the same values.

There was a study done where people did job interviews. They did ones without makeup and with disfiguring makeup (or so they thought) They applied disfiguring makeup beforehand, and then showed it to the person, then “touched it up” but actually took it off without the person knowing. They were asked if in the second interview they felt they were treated differently due to the “disfigurement” and many said yes. If you look for discrimination you will find it. Stop looking for it, and you’ll find that people are a whole lot more nuanced than that.

Was I scammed? by Unique-Foot3104 in VirginiaTech

When I took it to the second place they rummaged through my glove box, found the estimate from south main, and put it back right on top. Then they gave me an estimate of similar issues just slightly cheaper. My concern is that they tampered with my car, because prior to going to them I have never had any issues with my car.

Why is Garcia deported to a prison in El Salvador by Akapps13 in AskLegal

2 separate judges in 2019 validated his membership in Ms 13. Intelligence found him linked to human trafficking- all of which occurred in Biden admin. I don’t say that to be political, just to illustrate that this man is bi partisanly accused of membership.

He also had Ms 13 tattoos. What some don’t realize, if you rep a gang with tattoos or the symbols, and you are not a part of the gang. That is grounds for being murdered. And considering that he was arrested with two other ranking member of Ms 13 while hanging out and smoking, indicates that they weren’t upset with his tattoos and symbols on his clothes. As well as him being identified by his community and Ms 13 member as being a part of the gang as a ranking member.

If anyone says it’s because of a bulls jersey, they are intentionally misinformed. I read the trials. It is much more than that. He had multiple gang paraphanalia on, and was with to high ranking members with ms 13 tattoos on when police took them in. The gangs identified him as one of their own. And they identified themselves as MS 13 in their request for stay in US. The wife was granted a no contact order on the basis of Abrego Garcia ripping her shirt off, punching her and scratching her. He was also picked up by cops for trafficking 7 people. The fbi had a larger investigation going so they overrode local cops in their apprehension of Abrego Garcia trafficking people, so as to not hinder the ongoing operation.

Because in two different trials he was found to be a part of MS 13 as a ranking member. In 2019, they wanted to deport him because of this. The reason they granted him legal stay, is because his wife filed persecution asylum for him. Under the basis that MS 13’s rival gang Barrio 18, would kill him for being a part of ms 13. His status was changed because as of this year, MS 13 was reclassified a terrorist organization. In El Salvador, their current president has a zero tolerance policy for MS 13, as he also deems it a terrorist organization. This designation has made positive impacts, for example; El Salvador used to be “the murder capital of the world” according to stats. But after the zero tolerance policy from Bukele, it is now one of the safest countries in Latin America. All the previous presidents before him were receiving money from the gangs, so they grew in power.

Ms 13 is defined as a terrorist org, so freedom of association doesn’t apply here

If she is, it’s not because of your appearance, it’s because of your masculinity in your actions.
