I'm glad you don't hear the dog whistling. It gives me hope, although Ron Got I DeathSentence.
I don't get "felt out" either. It's just said, bluntly or subtly, sometimes because people think I'll automatically agree, others because they're poking.

Right, like I was paranoid over facial recognition and Whatsapp when meta bought it.

OTOH, we're seriously race (heh) mixed in NW Florida
Maybe you're so used to it, you don't notice. Or maybe it's said in other ways, eg, "Certain races do this thing or think that way." Or maybe it's more subtle, "That's just their culture." "That's just how their people are."
It's also maddening when discussing medical issues. "Why does my race have to be brought into it?” "Because certain ethnicities have problems with this particular medical condition moreso than others." "Because I'm more susceptible to x and I can't do y with you."

We're not going extinct. Humans are the toughest beasts on the planet, the AR-15 of animals. Not the best at anything, not by a long shot, but we're perfect multi-purpose lifeforms. Hell, we survive in every ecosystem on Earth. Insects can't even claim that!
I do believe climate science. And I do think a nuclear world war would decimate humans. I do hold hope, and recognize very real potentialities.
You can see their gears turning, truly a new thought.
And right back to football, video games, occasionally maybe standing somewhere publicly with a clever sign.

Plural of anecdote... Yes I know, forgive me for not documenting all the times I've heard it. Maybe people posture, depending on the surrounding people. Maybe they feel more free to be more honest as tourists. Perhaps both.

We'll get there. There have been massive strides in my lifetime alone.
If we don't extinct ourselves and a bunch of other species, first. Maybe. The current race toward devolution gives me pause to doubt, however.

Yes, I remember this conversation with a parent when I was in my 20s. They reminded me of clan and tribal wars.

Are you kidding? I've heard Scots and English vilely denegrate Welsh, Germans denegrate Saxons, English denigrate black people...on and on and on.

I'm active in my community and I'm sure my congressional representatives wish I'd move, as the ones I had prior.
It's odd how so many are quick to add their personal interpretations.

You can replace congressional representatives with MPs or whatever is appropriate.
