Fear of the “other.” Most if not all of these people live among only white people. They’re probably not too keen on Chinese and other Asians, too, but for different reasons.

How dreadfully boring these people’s lives must be. I’ve traveled the world (thanks, TEFL Certificate!) and lived all over. I love it. I enjoy meeting people from everywhere. I love cities like Istanbul, Aleppo (before it was blown to shit, at least), Kampala, Ho Chi Minh City, Tokyo, Beijing, Cairo, etc.

What is there to be afraid of? We’re all human beings. Sure, people live differently, and what of it?

Or is it that they simply cannot wrap their little provincial minds around things that are “different”?
