So Im gonna be honest. I had a topic a while back about transgender people. Im not knowledgeable in the subject, and had a lot of questions. But during the topic, I had made a claim that most Americans dont deal with them that often. But it was modded. Truth be told, ever since Ive been on a warpath trying to get someone to answer how that was offensive. So I theorized it must have been because LGTB people are a protected class. Because I see shit said about black people blatantly racist get a pass here. So I did an experiment with this topic. Deal with truly has a negative connotation it seems. As multiple posters have pointed it out. I now feel like I must misunderstand the meaning. I dont find it negative at all. Do yall see it synonymous with tolerate, is what Im guessing? Well I apologize then. I didnt think deal with was bad.

PMarth2002 06/29/20 1:43:33 PM #38:	Overall i'd fall into the secluded white guy category, but I voted other because it's been different levels at different times. I'm also very introverted and don't have an especially wide social circle. Especically right now when there's a quarantine going on, I'm not working, and I live in a small rural town. The majority of people i've ever been close to are white. Pretty much just my cousin. His mom was married to a black guy, but they divorced when I was young, and I don't think I ever met his dad. Beyond that, I've mostly just had black acquaintances through work/school or interacted with them in a customer service capacity (on either side, i've got years of delivery driver experience). This town is white as hell and unfortunately its not that uncommon to see confederate flags on cars/trucks or flying at people's houses. Literally heard a customer rant about n-words (using the actual term) when i applied for my job at pizza hut. --- No matter where you go, there you are. <cite>PMarth2002 posted [p:941431743] in Do you dea...
