Non-white Americans, do you feel safe traveling to or through a republican jurisdiction? (If you are white: does your non-white friends feel safe traveling to or through a republican jurisdiction?) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As a Chinese American, I kinda have this self-imposed rule to never enter the boundaries of a red state, and even within Blue/Purple states, to avoid ending up in some rural town. Bascially, half of my country is inaccessible to me due to my perceived fear of potentially being a victim of racism.

Am I being paranoid?

my Chinese friend is occasionally harassed or disrespected for looking/sounding asian around all of the states, so your concern doesn't sound paranoid to me.
