It's been a 'thing' for over a hundred years in the US, so not really. Is it horrific? Sure. But it's not shocking in the least.

do they even have wine at regular bars

that's something i never considered before

If you are ever in France, go to a bar with some friends, and order a bottle. That's how they do it there. Good. loving. Wine., too.

:shrug: the KKK's been going on for a while, i get that, but i still would find it terrifyingly assbackwards and shocking to see them parade around in full regalia on the 4th of july in (what i'm assuming based on our similar ages) the 90s

you learn to drink wine very quickly in france, since their beer is shite and the wine is so good

unless you're in certain areas, like, i don't think i drank anything but cider and calvados in Normandie

Jesus it still always freaks me out that that part of the country seems to somehow manage to be even more racist than the south. I guess it's the not actually having nearly as many black people there (because they lynched the ones that showed up) that does it...

I do think I overestimate how racist the north is sometimes though because the people who have chosen to move down here are kinda self-selecting. Doesn't change that I hear way more racist poo poo from northern transplants than people who grew up here despite living in loving Appalachia

yikes

in the city I live in through clever usage of hills and routing of main streets the city hides all the low income housing where you'll never see it

Also the city itself is like 88% white or something like that but the richest suburb is like 99.7% white and I think .1% of the rest is literally one Asian guy and his family.

Edit: as in a 3rd of the remaining bit that is
