As a Chinese American, I kinda have this self-imposed rule to never enter the boundaries of a red state, and even within Blue/Purple states, to avoid ending up in some rural town. Bascially, half of my country is inaccessible to me due to my perceived fear of potentially being a victim of racism.
Am I being paranoid?
There was a story a couple years ago about a Maga weatherman who pulled a gun on a little girl who rang his doorbell trying to find her lost kitten. There literally ain’t a human being on this planet who should feel safe around them.
