Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Are you guys ok over the pond? I thought every panel after the second was just silly but then I read the married guy’s comment..
These aren't normal questions from strangers. Unless you have a strong reason to, you don't assume details about people's lives when getting to know more about them. Even the questions on the left are presumptuous and can represent a faux pas, but they're mild enough that the recipient would likely correct any wrong premise without making it an incident. But trying to guess details reflects poorly on you if you are wrong. Mostly you would express interest in what you can see about someone as an invitation for them to share more if they care to.

Don't think I ever saw this. But then again I'm in a blue city, so there's that.
Edit: Not saying theres no racism, there is a lot in fact. But I never see the type depicted in this comic. Its either overt racism with yelling slurs, or its just a normal interaction. I dont see much passive agressiveness.
Could it be that you're a straight white male who doesn't mix with people outside that particular bubble much? I'm one of those, and I'm willing to believe others when they say it happens, and how often. Even in those places where the majority vote for the more progressive candidate.
Not quite. I'm an asian american. And while I do witness racism often, its usually not the same racism as depicted in this comic. Theres is not much passive agressiveness at all, its either just yelling slurs, or they are just normal people. My comment probably got off the wrong impression. I'm not saying theres no racism, there is, a lot. But I never see these passive agressive racism. Its either overt racism with slurs involved, or they are normal people, like there's no in between.
The liberals do it almost more than the conservatives. It's more open racism and avoidance in red areas but somehow it's a kindness to talk down to people of color in the eyes of the liberal.
