Whenever they give you the 'our' kind shit, give them the, "You're out of your fucking mind if you think I'm one of your kind."
I'm so amazed as a white dude what complete strangers at bars (deep red county) will just sit down and say to me out of nowhere, assuming I'm just a bigot racist idiot too.
Yeah it was super baffling. I hate being surrounded by friendly (to me) bigots that I know would make me unsafe the second I were to be honest with them about what I actually believe
I work in manufacturing (think large scale welding and assembly), and while the floor workers are (mostly) perfectly genial towards me, if they knew who I actually was and what I actually believe, I think most of them wouldn’t see me as a person. Hell, one of the welders has a confederate flag tattoo for all to see on his right forearm.
Someday I’ll get to leave and work somewhere else, but for now I just have to try to keep a professional distance from them.
