From the “Making friends” files.

We’re giving away an old sofa and an older couple came by to look at it. It came up that we live in Chicago.

“Oh well it’s way safer here (in Kauai)”

Me: Chicago gets a bad reputation, it isn’t that dangerous.

Woman: well I used to live near Chicago - in Indiana. So I know…

Me: Chicago is not dangerous.

Woman: well, not the whole area but the city is.

Me: The whole city? While there are parts of the city that are more dangerous, I’ve been in them multiple times and hey I’m still here.

JFC.

Next time I’m just going to say “yeah that’s a common racist right wing talking point” and wait for the blank stares.
