Goodness, how any racists have you met and what percent cae from Ohio.

I've met many racists from many places as I'm sure most of us have.
So many of them have been from Ohio, and my observations while
visiting that state, have caused me to say that.


Having lived in Columbus Ohio bewteen 1996 and 1999 I
have to say that I didnt notice the local populace being any
more racist thany most other places in the USA. Indeed the
company I worked for was rather well integrated with plenty
of black and asian employees at all levels.

My first experience was in the early '50s when I was showing a couple
from Columbus around town.

Oh, well, the early 50s, yeah. I won't argue about that.

Yes yes, etc etc


There have been many more over the years such as the furniture mover
who, seeing an Asian man entering the house next door commented to
his co-worker "A bit nippy around here, isn't it."


But that one's actually comical; all depends how he said it. A simple
tasteless quip/punlet, or a true mean-spirited slur? Could be either and
remember: there's a big diff between the two.

Unfortunately your powers of observation Icono, are so under-developed that
your anecdote tells us little except that you're quick to pull out the
proverbial six-shooter and in typical flailing style fire at Ohio, a state
with a population of Twelve Million souls.

Sort of a modern-day PC anti-racist racist, are you? Studiously unproductive
because all you've done is spin round full circle, leaving nothing but little
ineffectual bubbles floating over your head, for all to see. Nex

For the newcomer it's usaully the opposite problem:"There's an

Freeway is?

Or the Richmond cutoff or what to do to avoid the problem. Newcomers
and tourists are irrelevant because they are few in number and don't
know how to avoid what might be ahead of them.

Or in LA as you come down I-5 from Newhall: "There's a sigalert
for the Santa Ana at the Newport freeway." or worse, "There's a
truck overturn at the Spaghetti Bowl and traffic is backed up for
miles on the east bound Santa Monica.

Exactly! Locals understand that perfectly well and know what to do
about it. Tourists and newcomers don't. Who cares? Traffic reports
should be explicitly clear to locals without the distraction of
having to try to figure out what's meant! Those broadcast here are not.

Your inability to comprehend what's written is made apparent by the
preceding paragraph. I cast no aspersions upon, nor made any
conclusions about, Ohio -- just the many racists from there who I've
met. Most of the racists I've met have been from Ohio.

There have been many more over the years such as the furniture

Had it not seemed to me to be "a true mean-spirited slur" I'd've
probably not remembered it. Because I was devoid of expression he
said to his co-worker "He doesn't get it".

unproductive because all you've done is spin round full circle,
