  • I thought “bless your heart” was just a meme up until I went back to my Midwestern home state with my wife (from Mexico) and our two chihuahuas. In a tourist “town” she’d gone into a bakery and I waited for her with the dogs outside.

    Another white family (I’m white) had walked up and started talking to me. They were pretty friendly up until I mentioned we were visiting from Los Angeles at which point they responded “bless your heart” in a heavy southern accent and immediately walked away. It was kind of jarring seeing that kind of behavior after years of living away from there.
