I grew up in the southeast. One of the things I notice when I travel is when I leave this area of the US I will go days and weeks only seeing white people.I spent 3 weeks riding my motorcycle around the country this year and once I passed the Mississippi River it was like black people disappeared. I saw that to point out that most of the country doesn't have towns or cities where people know not to stop for gas. Don't break down in "this" area because it isn't safe. So they don't know what "urban" people are really like because they only deal with one or two at a time.
Every time I go on vacation I run into and Australian person and they always start in on why Americans want to keep their guns and how Australians don't need them. If they are ever allowed to travel again I will remind them of the hell they lived in 2021 because they had no way to fight back.
