but I can't say never, a lot of closeted racism here. The kind where they pretend to be your friend & insult you behind your back. Growing up and Tempe is really one of the better places of Arizona I thought racism was something that only existed in the dark corners, my ex-wife is black so when I first dating her it was like a shock. A lot of people that I would never figure to be racist started giving me their racist opinions and racism is everywhere, it just seems to be more of it here.
