What did the residents of DC do to deserve being treated like shit by these goons?

You know. These goons might finally be in contact with the people they hate. Only way to stop hating people is getting to know them. Might actually do some good

That was the takeaway from the Robbers cave experiment. That exposure to others can destroy outgroup bias. When the two groups of boys were assigned cooperative games, they stopped hating each other and saw they were just there to have fun at a summer camp too.

Having lived in the DC area, I would strongly caution those douchebags against pissing off low income residents of that area.

They might find that the world is less kind to spoilt cis-gendered white dudes who do nothing but brew bullshit in some places than others.
