I am a biracial woman living in Connecticut with a white husband and I see the way my husband is treated compared to how I’m treated…. The comparison is stark.

I’ve had college professors who have quoted the bell curve. I’ve had older male friends, express racist ideology against Asian people which shocked me. I had an older white male friend gleefully declare that he was a racist and an antisemite. I’ve heard the N-word in work environments. I’ve had coworkers make endless racist jokes.

I’m not sure what state you’re coming from but Connecticut is not a bastion of social progressive behavior, but it is very fiscally progressive, which is great.

Nutmeggers generally respond to this by saying that it’s worse in the south, which is probably true I’ve never lived down south. Essentially what they’re trying to say is shut up it could be a lot worse but I think it could be a lot better and that’s gonna take work and the acknowledgment that there is a problem here.
