    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.

                  Why are you out to get me? I took your word for it because you’ve experienced it for yourself. You know Indiana more than I do, so i think it’s a no-brainer to take your word for it.

                  You seem to think i hate America or something due to previous discussions we’ve had, but I’m gonna tell you i have nothing against you guys. I love America in fact, and wish to someday visit all 50 states.

                    If I told you I also lived in South Africa and white people were racist as fuck there too, would it be a no-brainer to take my word for that as well? Or is your trust in internet strangers just limited to the ones who say they live in certain parts of the globe?

                    Incidentally, complaining about how I have an evil vendetta against you might work better with me if I remembered ever talking to you before. If I did, you clearly did not leave enough of an impression for me to remember it.
