This. They live in nearly entirely all white communities and rarely see anyone that doesn’t fit the community norm. They have zero empathy for brown people, queer people, etc. because they don’t know any and have been programmed by Fox News to refuse to associate with any even if they came across them.
You don’t even need to be that different. I showed up in a western farming town at 15 years old. My hair was long for a boy, and my ‘city’ clothes got me harassed from the first day I arrived in that town. Isolated morons. The lot of them. They fear anything that is not exactly like they are.
