So racism just doesn’t exist anymore…that’s a hot take.

It literally says "We have written Maine off the list because of what I have seen with POC (peope of color) there."

That obviously clearly implies he believes the state is racist. In any case this is a shit post.

They have “written” the entire state of Maine off their list. Have they not?

They based this conclusion on “what i have seen to people of color in maine”. You’ll agree.

Therefore, the overt implication is that OP refuses to consider maine as a potential place of residence because they beleive that racism is an integral, cultural component inherent to life in maine.

Of course a rational being would know there are vast cultural differences between south eastern maine and rural maine.

Isnt that the source of most racism- where the individual lets their personal experience cloud otherwise rational judgement which in turn is casted onto a broader group?
