    Don’t think I ever saw this. But then again I’m in a blue city, so there’s that.

    Edit: Not saying theres no racism, there is a lot in fact. But I never see the type depicted in this comic. Its either overt racism with yelling slurs, or its just a normal interaction. I dont see much passive agressiveness.

      Could it be that you’re a straight white male who doesn’t mix with people outside that particular bubble much? I’m one of those, and I’m willing to believe others when they say it happens, and how often. Even in those places where the majority vote for the more progressive candidate.

        I’m a man and I’ve never been catcalled, but I can believe women who overwhelmingly say it’s a common experience.

        A non-black person saying they’ve never been followed around a convenience store, or dealt with adultification (the phenomenon where racial bias leads people to treat black children more as adults, including things like the first row in this comic assuming a young black woman is holding her own daughter).

        We all live our own experiences, so trying to deny that something happens based on not having experienced it yourself is just being obtuse.

        Not quite. I’m an asian american. And while I do witness racism often, its usually not the same racism as depicted in this comic. Theres is not much passive agressiveness at all, its either just yelling slurs, or they are just normal people. My comment probably got off the wrong impression. I’m not saying theres no racism, there is, a lot. But I never see these passive agressive racism. Its either overt racism with slurs involved, or they are normal people, like there’s no in between.

        The liberals do it almost more than the conservatives. It’s more open racism and avoidance in red areas but somehow it’s a kindness to talk down to people of color in the eyes of the liberal.
