I’m a Vermonter, and I agree with you, @jakefrommyspace. Plus, for about as long as I can remember, people have been saying some—though not all—of what OP is saying. Our state is getting old, people. We need young families to settle here. Of course, we also need actual mass transit, but that’s another post.

This. ā¬†ļø Seems to be worse for Black women. I’m white and grew up here. Never thought there was much racism until I lived in the Southeast (FL, GA, AL). The good news is that there are definitely more POC living here than there were when I left. Somebody advised that you avoid the NEK and I agree; it’s pretty much Maga land.

As far as schools go, get involved. Like others have pointed out, it’s mostly microaggressive, ignorant BS. But overt racism exists. And like everywhere else in the US, cops stop way more POC than they should. But they don’t kill them.
