I've been in Seymour, Indiana sine the 25th of July, but I've also been very lazy since even before that, which is why I haven't updated in so long.
Now, I've lived in the States before (San Diego, California, to be specific), so I did anticipate a little bit of racial tension. However, I realized not too long after I arrived here that I had underestimated the xenophobiaand ignorance that seem to be ever present, especially here in "in-the-middle-of-fucking-nowhere-midwest-there's-nothing-but-corn-here-Indiana".
I haven't been directly confronted by anyone thus far, but I do recognize "The Stare". It's similar to that stare I got from that one cab driver when I was with my brother. It's a weird, hickish, sort of frightening and/or frightened look I get from people when I'm walking around. Sometimes, they people are usually talking, but are silenced as I pass them. To those people, I would like to say that I'm not going to rape your daughters, dropkick your ovaries, tear off your eyebrows, or eat your dogs. Unless you really piss me off.
I'm not the only one who's noticed this stare. According to Chris, he's gotten that look as well, though his mother tells him that it's all in his head.
As a side note, there way too many fucking wiggers here, although any amount of wiggers would be, by default, too many. And by the way, "wigger" is not a racial slur, and if you disagree, your mother needs to sign up for a post-natal abortion. I can help with that.

Seymour is so weird, and yet I miss my corntown.

It actually is a pretty cool place if you want to relax, but it does get dull after a while.
USA sucks....There is nothing to do, Peru is like 999^999^999X better. Also, people here are strange, and food is ugly.
Sipo, they call that culture shock. Aside from the drinking and smoking situation, I prefer the US to Peru. Also, as I mentioned in this entry, while I get an uneasy feeling from some people, at least people here have enough decency not to make fun of me for being Asian to my face. As a foreigner to both countries whose been able to experience both places with fresh eyes, I would have to say that people here are generally nicer than in Peru. However, I do agree with you somewhat regarding the food. While food in Peru is generally superior in both price and quality, I don't have much complaints about the food here either.
This place might seem weird for you, but I'm sure people who visit Peru think the same things about it too.
Why are you so funny?! I laughed so hard when I read this entry!!! I was in the Schwitz computer lab and I had to try really hard to contain my giggling because there were other people there, lol.
People are stupid. Pay those racist motha-fuckas no attention.
And I say "wigger."
