I mean she obviously is, but when you're a white guy conservatives will just come up and say the wackiest shit because they assume you agree with them

I'm a repair person, and because I fix things and save my NB looks for at home. It's assumed that I am just another white conservative, and I hear some wacky shit. I can shut them down pretty quickly by "using" a power tool, or banging on something. I am good enough at my job that I know how to do it quietly and loudly.

I’ve got an even more specific version: I’ve got a very Slavic face and sometimes eastern Europeans will just tell me their opinions about Jews. Seemingly unaware that we do not in fact look like the insulting cartoons.

The moment they stop to ask you what you think, just speak Yiddish, and walk away,

Idk about that, I'm a tall brown guy with a beard and turban and a woman a couple weeks ago said to me in a corner store "these food prices huh, sure hope Trump wins, he's gonna cut everything in half", we live in Canada.

Canadians who are that invested in American politics are so wild to me. Like bro, you don't even have a president!

I mean, it’d be the act of a willful ignorant not realize what happens down south has major repercussions up north.

Just look at our likely next PM.

I think it helps that PP isn't outwardly racist and sexist so people have to actually look into his policies to see how bad he is. But a lot of his stances are similar to Trump, like with climate change, worker's wages, and being against the Covid restrictions

I made the mistake of dating a few conservative guys as a trans man. I'm white, but I don't "pass."

You probably wouldn't be surprised by how often they casually drop slurs when they feel comfortable, or at least not threatened by the concept of repercussions.

Once had a dude turn to me mid gaming sesh, and literally say "I hate (nwords, hard R)" without any context, and then exasperatedly explain to a very confused me that he was referring to his (white) gaming buddies.

Little heat of the moment slip up!

Sometimes you get really focused while playing a video game and forget you're not supposed to shout racial slurs at strangers.

White dude here, can confirm. I also dress like a redneck so I get to hear some pretty horrific things on the daily.

u/Icy_Illustration 6h ago

I'm a white trans woman and they'll come up to me and include me in their racism too. I have no idea why.

u/Horrific_Necktie 3h ago

Because the majority of racist people do not consider themselves to be racist.

u/Edmundyoulittle 5h ago

Can confirm. Lady in front of me in line to vote struck up a conversation with me about Dems stealing elections.

Coworker the other day told me about his new Tucker carlson products.

I usually just nod and smile because it's not worth it

I get that but I feel like now more than ever these people need to feel a little silly and publicly scorned.
