its always funny seeing non-white and/or lgbt ppl wanting to move to my hometown and all the straight white people are like "youll be fine its a live and let live kind of place just mind your business and people will mind theirs" and all the non-white and/or lgbt people going "jesus fucking christ please don't move here you WILL be hate crimed by a dude in a trucker hat and the KKK is still active"

#both are true bc its very like. Well i respect gay people black people trans people immigrants etc #I just don't want to ever have to think about it or change my behavior in any way to accomodate them #like yeah sure you can be queer here just never tell anybody and only talk to other queer ppl via grindr #and yeah sure you can be a POC just don't act even remotely different from WASPs or you're responsible for your own oppression #or yeah sure you can be jewish or muslim just don't expect any form of accomodation for your religious practices #Like yeah there are certainly worse places- interracial relationships are generally not looked down on here for example #and i have heard ppl from different parts of the US tell some HORRIFIC stories about how teens in interracial relationships are treated #and like we have a chabad it's just small and constantly getting threats of gun violence #and we haven't had any gay bashings hit the news but you'll def be called slurs if you're looking too gay in a parking lot #Idk! it's just funny to me how low people's bar is for tolerance when they don't have anything ppl consider intolerable about them
