Here, racism takes some curious and awkward forms. I'm not about to try to catalogue them here. It's really disappointing, is all I'll say for now.

Haven't seen a lick of racism since moving down to Charleston from Philly/Jersey. Many POC work on the floor in our shop and they're the nicest people I have ever met. Everyone gets treated the exact same. Different story in philly/jersey as most people are just assholes regardless of your race.
