Never been spit at on the east or west coast. We were just walking to grab lunch.

The fact you're the one getting triggered by real anecdotes and dismissive is more reason it's not going to change anytime soon.

The amount of racism is pretty depressing in the Midwest.

-Have had coworkers openly talk about how the company hires too many Indians and it's a "bad thing".

-People saying how muslims are ruining and dirtying up their suburban neighborhoods

-Skinheads verbally yell obscenities and spit at me and my minority coworkers.

-Sprinkle in the barrier to entry for tech exec/leadership positions is not diverse and have seen first hand how douchey the hiring process is..

It's reaffirming to hear so many other people have similar sentiments.

>Or are you being bigoted

Maybe you should re-evaluate your outlook because you sound like you're part of the problem that makes the Midwest not appealing to minorities.
