I understand that some people don’t like purebred dogs and some people don’t like Pitbull-type dogs. But it’s no reason to be rude. I don’t give people a hard time for having mixed breed dogs or Goldendoodles.

You met a real life troll. Just imagine how she is online. Lol

Even her dogs hate her.

Not only do I hate Pitbulls, but I am not 100% sold on dogs in general. You still don't be rude to dogs or their owners.
(Last pit bull I saw walking was actually super friendly.)
People have always been this way--not that it's a comfort, but it's the way it is. And this is New England. Saying hi to strangers is more Southern.

I understand. My ex was different then me and we lived in a racist state, (mid-west- where they burnt the city down). We didn't suffer too much, but other mixed couples did.
Massachusetts is “liberal” but actually has a reputation for being racist… especially the part I live in. I am mixed Portuguese and mostly Latina so I don’t look like much of anyone else in my neighborhood. Sometimes Black people are harassed here

The south isn't as bad in some places--Grew up in small town SC and it was actually more integrated, more diverse, and a lot more chilled out than up north, in some respects. Enough different races down south that no matter what you look like, you'll blend in.

A lot of times people in different racial groups don't get diagnosed--It is already visible with the sex disparity; women get ignored by some doctors. And at least where I was growing up, mental health was seen as "for them libruls up north"

It is all very odd. I think people in general are susceptible to the full variety of mental conditions (good effects or bad.) However, whether they get diagnosed is often something else altogether!

It was Minneapolis. It's pretty bad there. Woman aren't treated to well either, and it's not friendly to consumers rights.
