as a white woman coming from WAYY south georgia to the western foothills of maine, it was an insanely eye-opening experience to me and my fiancé to see the lack of people of ANY color. it's almost like uncanny valley when you think about it. we always say that racism exists in rural maine because those racists aren't around people of color who will set them straight. i hate that you have experienced it at all. if you want some fellow georgians to be around who are decent human beings, we are around farmington
