    Now that you explain it I understand and actually agree in some situations like your taxi example.

    However, once I’m out doing tourist things I want to meet locals and other travelers and share stories, tips, or local lore. Meeting people in this way has allowed me to discover new places that or perspectives that I would never experience otherwise.

    To each their own I suppose.

      You can meet people online, I would be very wary as a tourist, most folks will only talk back if they get value from it, like assault, robbery or your blood🦇

        You are too paranoid. I have been traveling internationally for the past 3 years and have never experienced any danger. Most of the time I travel alone.

          Or maybe we are just different kinds of people and thus get treated differently. Maybe if I was a cishet euro dude I wouldn’t worry about it either.

            cishet euro dude

            Is that what you have classified me as?

            Assume less.

              I mean, statistically, you are, so am I, I’m very right to assume that unless stated otherwise.

              Furthermore, almost no women at least in my personal experience have ever reported having travel experiences like yours, so I was doubly right to assume that you are a man.

              And yet further, you also do not deny it therefore I’m going to assume I was correct and dismiss your experiences as not applying to me.

              I will assume more because I assume that I assumed correctly and you just don’t like being called out, even though a reasonable person would probably just say that others’ experiences may vary.

              I was also just being polite in saying “euro” instead of just saying “white” btw.

              Blocked.
