There was an altercation at the store I work at today and this guy called another guy the n word and some other racist stuff.

I told him he had to leave the store and he was like, "I don't mean anything by it. I'm from Boston, it's just how we are."

A co-worker called the security guard and the guy said something about how it didn't matter if he called him the n word because the guy was a (slur for Mexicans). My co-worker rolled her eyes and he feigned innocence again and what was just like, "What? What did I say?"

Are Bostonians really this racist or is this guy just a dipshit?

No so much racist as much as they just hate everyone and will say what they know will piss people off the most.

I spent 4 days in Boston last summer and it was super nice, but I also did find there was a conspicuously low number of non-white people there.

Lived in Greater Boston for a little more than 2 years and as a black man, I never got that vibe at all. Chinatown, Fenway, Back Bay, you name it - I've been up and down Boston numerous times and have never encountered any overt racism.

Not saying it doesn't exist - just saying I don't have any personal accounts.

Obviously not all Bostonians are like this, but there are a number that are and it's generally just:

It's pretty much that one someone pisses them off:

1. Say the most offensive thing you can think of in context.
2. Altercation
3. Get defensive in the aftermath
4. "This is just what we do"

The Boston area is a strange place. I've known a lot of people from out that way. I'm from western MA myself (very different out here, but a lot of people from the Boston area go to college out here, so that culture has a presence)

I'm pretty sure that 99% of people dropping N bombs during online games fall under that category as well.

I feel like people in Boston are too on edge. They get rude fast and it's the only time I've actually almost gotten into fights everytime I'm up there. Never had that happen in NYC really. I know New Yorkers are their own rude, but Bostonians come off as aggressive for no reason.

And those slurs are just normal shit in any city and are not meant to be so much racist, rather just a response when angered.

I'm from Boston. Somehow it's both progressive and racist. Like there's definitely tons of segregation by towns.
