      From my observations, and from what I have been told from people of this group in seattle, mostly african americans. You’d have to hear from other marginalized groups for more info as I am not familiar with their experience. It’s less of the explicitly violent and threatening racism you see in the south and more of the “you’re so articulate” style of racism. Lots of pearl clutching and car door locking if you know what I mean.

            That’s the kind I’m used to, having grown up in that area. It’s shitty, but has it changed in the last ten years? My area was north Seattle, where it’s always been an issue.

              I’m a couple hours north of Seattle, and the PNW is crawling with the Proud Boy type. I was doing memory care for people with downs syndrome and dementia, and we had to get the cops involved because somebody was prowling around the facility with a rifle slung over his back during the first trump presidency.

              It’s the same problems it’s always had, but trump has deffo turned the volume up.
