People really think the south/rural areas have people being giant racist homophobes to strangers… No they save that for people they know or think will agree with them
i’m pretty sure i give off “hey, whatever your views whoever you are i’ll accept and validate you” vibes in person then, because jesus the titties on a walrus on a jetski christ the things some people have confided in me.
Their litmus test for “people they think will agree with them” is just: be a white man.
I am a burly white dude. Tall, big beard, I look like I walked out of the mountains… Unprompted, some white people will casually say some unhinged rascist shit to me. And have, many times.
One time there was a shooting nearby, a white maintenence worker told me about it, and then without missing a beat goes “it was two black guys shooting at eachother, so much for brotherly love, right?”
Another time, in a gas station up in the sticks, Im buying a can of monster. Some white stranger, unprompted, taps me on the shoulder starts telling me about how the logo is a Jewish letters for the sign of the devil…
So, no, you dont have to be someone these people know… you just have to a white man. They assume any white man (especially masculine presenting) is one of them.
I tend to look like a hippie that was forced to dress up for church and people definitely just assume I’ll agree with their racist bullshit because I’m white.

Haha, I would disagree with that. I’ve had “fuck you, fag” yelled at me many times in rural areas.
Yep, a few feet of the Purdue campus and suddenly started getting called a removed by random drivers

Yep this has been 100% my experience too. How do you deal with them?
depends on how much you want to fuck with em, in the case of jewphobia i like to give em a l’chaim.
“oh shit, the jews really are everywhere”
