This brings me comfort. I’m too afraid of walking out here in Arizona because it seems like everybody hates mexicans by default around here. By default every mexican is an illegal immigrant and a cholo who is up to no good. But I’m not like that at all. I come from a family who came here legally. My dad is respectable US citizen who works for Boeing, pays taxes and never been in trouble with the police. I never start problems with people. I just keep to myself. I know my mind is playing tricks on me when i start thinking everybody’s out to get me but i suppose i have the news and the media to blame for that. I know not everyone is racist. Heck my best friend is white and i just hung out with him a couple weeks ago. I just feel like im gonna be randomly attacked like in the movies by some group of racists. This has never happened to me however so i know its silly. But i can’t get over this fear for some reason. I know it’s the media that has made me subconsciously racist. I’m actually afraid of black people. But i know there’s not anything to fear from random black people. Its just that tv portrays people in negative lights.
@lonewolf: it breaks my heart that you fear walking down the street in your own town. People are so cruel. And the media feeds the frenzy. I don’t watch television. But I can tell you this. We are really missing out if we don’t take advantage of the diversity around us. If I just wanted to be around other white people I would’ve missed out on some of the best times of my life. I’ve been the only white person at the party. And we all had a great time.

That would be nice. But sadly, most of the world doesn’t believe in that. Hence, you get this sh*tstorm called life, or human “civilization.”
This world is fucked, especially america.
