Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

West coast small towns are like something out of Central Casting.

Even the homeless groups and young hoodlums are completely diverse and look like they were hired by Netflix for portraying fair representation. It's hilarious to see after living in places where racial and gender lines were set in some kind of ancient stone and people haaaated each other's groups or identities.

It actually makes me feel really hopeful for the future going into a walmart out west and seeing every other couple is interracial or there are gay or lesbian couples openly holding hands in public. The attitudes and cartoonish hatred you see on Trump-fixated media seems like fiction from another world. (At least until the ICE gas grenades start landing in the home depot parking lot.)

As a product of a rural town in SoCal, I can assure you there are VERY white, VERY racist places all over the west coast. I regularly had to deal with neonazis and white trash racists growing up. Still full of toxic bigots, I hate going out in public there. I wish I lived anywhere like what you described but even the big city near me is pretty rich, white, and conservative.

City people are just minding their own business and don't like it when you get in the way of their business in some way. Small town people are more likely to have a grudge against some part of your identity, whether it be physical, sexual, whatever. But yes as a straight white male, when I visited the US, small town America was very friendly and polite. Mostly seemed like fake friendliness though. Like overdone in some way. In the big city (NYC in this case), everyone just... ignored us and we ignored them.
