A guilty pleasure is mine is watching the "best ever food review show" and in one of the episodes he was in Afghanistan and constantly reminding the audience that he's in so much danger because there are people with guns around him and because the Taliban abducted and tortured some American people (which I agree is bad and scary).
However, the US is also full of armed religious extremists and the US also has Guantanamo bay and other black sites to abduct and tortured people. If this scares you, you should be scared of the US too, especially now were they also stated to abduct immigrant looking people to foreign prisons or even abduct people / presidents in other countries.
Yeah, I’m from a tiny town out west and now live in a city of 2 mil in the Midwest. My friends who never left my home town are always worried about me getting hurt by some non white person. And I’m like, you all need to stop watching the news and come visit its nice here!
That's the difference they don't understand. They think you hate them because of who they are (because thats what they do), when we actually hate them for very clearly defined actions and behaviours that they chose to take.

My parents were like this. Swore I'd get murdered by an immigrant the second I stepped foot in NYC.

His kind should fear eradication and replacement. I'm not talking about white people, just bigots.

I have social anxiety too; but I actually recognize it's a problem and not normal to be afraid of every single human being ever.

Well next to an Israeli I would feel threatened, too.

Not all Jews are Israelis. Not all Israelis are Jews. And not all Israelis are genocidal psychopaths.

However, 20% of Israelis are genocidal colonisers, and most of the remainder are war criminals
