Strange Stares in Seymour, Indiana

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.
