    You’re right, he’s from an even more racist place. So I’m not sure why you think that’s an unfair stereotype when it is a fair one for a U.S. state that never had apartheid or slavery.

        Interesting how eager you were for me to see your point, and when I responded to it, all you did was troll.

        I guess I shouldn’t have expected any better.

              It’s because it isn’t clear to me that white South Africans of present are majorly racists. I’ve tried to look up stats and studies and it’s all anecdotal. Sure, it’s there, but there’s no evidence suggesting it’s widespread enough to make generalisations.

                Okay, can you please show me the stats and studies you used to determine that the stereotype fits for Indiana? I assume you do not have a double-standard here.

                    I see, so you do have a double-standard. In one case, you need stats and studies and in the other case, you are taking the word of a stranger on the internet.

                    Seems like you have a bit of your own bigotry problem, but it’s about Americans.
