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?

    I’ve lived and worked in red states my whole life and I’d say you’re paranoid.

    Ive worked in Kentucky, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Missouri to name a few.

    I call the Appalachians home

    I do not pass for white

    My name sounds foreign as fuck

    I’ve got a beautiful wife who happens to be white
