Nearly half of Bay Area residents say they want to leave

I have problems with food. Gluten gives me sinus headaches so I don't eat it. There's no real research on celiacs and sinus headaches. All the time people disregard my experience, my ability to identify pain, my ability to objectively assess my reactions, and suggest that it is placebo or in my head. This has really made me aware when people disregard other people's experiences.

They didn't say all Texans are racist. Just that they experienced racism in Texas. It's the same, playing Overwatch is a drag because people are jerks. Not everyone who plays Overwatch is a jerk, but I experience it often while playing.

I'm just making to clear that though racism and Confederate flags are the first two comments in a thread about a state, that's not representative of the state as a whole, regardless of their unfortunate experience. Not to downplay it, I don't doubt it happened, at all. It's just not representative of the state.

If the top comment on this thread was "California is full of racists, anyway", you'd bet you'd get the same response.
