      I can see you know nothing about Indiana, like the fact that the whole state was run by the KKK for decades. Or the fact that the KKK was literally started there. Or the fact that it is not in any way unusual to see a business called Kathy’s Kountry Kitchen even today.

      But sure, I’ve never encountered any of the bigotry they have in the South, just the intense bigotry in Indiana, which is exactly the same.

      In fact, worse. Because my friends in an interracial relationship get a lot less shit now that they live in Atlanta.

        that’s like saying the kkk started in oregon and then expecting people to take you seriously when comparing it to the south

        then you bring up atlanta, this is why I said you were naive

        but anyway I’m done, I really don’t care enough to continue

          Yes. Atlanta. Famously not in The South at all. What with that big mountain with Confederate generals carved into the side just outside of town. Totally not a Southern place.

          Or is it because it has those people in it?

            lmao no dude no

            it’s because holding up atlanta as the example for the south being not a racist shit hole is just fucking stupid and anyone living here would understand why

            you started this being naive and ignorant, now you’re just making shit up with strawman arguments

            giant fuck off to you
