They're also parroting racial minorities - I still remember the first time a Black friend expressed some reservations about going into a particular place with me because she wasn't convinced it would be safe for her.

There are still sundown towns in the US! Completely understandable! They’re not legal sundown towns but there are places where people of color are advised not to stop. Or, if traveling by bus/train, advised to cover their windows by closing the curtains or hanging up a jacket.

I did a lot of research on that for a project I’m working on. The amount of places that still have murderous racism built into their foundations is actually horrifying.

Oh yeah, she wasn't wrong - but I'd never actually had someone point it out to me directly before.
