I watched the Watchmen TV series a couple years back (at age 40) and during the Tulsa massacre scene I was like "oh this takes place in an alternate history where the KKK won"

Then next year in college I took a course in American History... oof.

I'm not American, but I also learned about it watching the Watchmen series, then Wikipedia. Wasn't that surprised, though. The only time I went to the USA some kids threw a heavy rock through our camping tent window while we, Mexican kids, were away. It didn't strike me like some kids mischief even at that time.

There is an unfortunate anti-homeless sentiment in some parts of the US, where people will wreck camping tents on sight regardless of the occupants' skin color. I'm sorry you had to deal with such hateful behavior.

Oh yeah, probably racism then. They have a history of it.

Yes, sure. But as a kid you don't really grasp that. They are supposed to be like, at least, not racists. But I can't blame them, I guess it's in their culture.

It is the culture. Adults indoctrinating hatred into their children. I was stained by it in my youth and had to do a lot of un-learning as I grew up. I'd blame the parents not the kids, but once those kids grow up they have the choice to decide what kind of people they want to be. Too many choose to stay hateful.
