Though I SERIOUSLY doubt that Austria cares more about minorities than Americans do. Hmm, that might have been my VIS bias, then. The only racism I ever encountered was against Turks, and admittedly that did leak into the school too.
Living in Savannah pretty much forces everyone to be racist. There's a HUGE rift between the rich and the extremely poor, and us art students are just toeing the line between the neighborhoods. There's a lot of drugs and crime going on in the less well off areas, so much that I would never consider walking alone at night.
I checked out a map on that site, forgot what it's called... familywatchdog or something... and I looked up all the registed offenders in my neighborhood.
...I'm surrounded by pedophiles and rapists. I'm not even exaggerating. One of them lives just down the street. Little red and yellow blips all over my map...
Anyway, doesn't help that pretty much the entire population of the poor districts is black. I'm not scared of black people. But I am terrified of desperate, poor people. And I hate myself for having to judge people that way, but that's the way things are here.
......ANYWAY. And yeah, think so about Boston. XD Good, I'm gonna be in town then! Staying with my great aunt who I last met when I hadn't yet learned to talk. Should be...interesting. Oh well, she seems nice enough. She wants to know if you've heard of Rachel Lewis"? Apparently a sophomore at your college. o-o
