minus-squareIdontcare@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·26 days agoEast of the cascades it’s all racism. But to the west I didn’t encounter it much. But that may just be an anecdotal comparison to the actual shit holes I have lived in where racism thrived rather than lurked.
minus-squareturdcollector69@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·26 days agoI traveled all over Oregon and Washington after living in the southeast. What you say holds true but to a lesser degree than true red areas. A lot of the people who consider themselves conservative would be relentlessly bullied for being a liberal if they moved to an actual red area. It’s funny because their utopian views of conservative areas mirrored my utopian view of Seattle when I lived in a conservative shit hole.
