Being as how I’m a white guy from Southern MO, have a “hillbilly” accent, and frankly do kinda look/dress “redneck”. Many people over the years have always assumed that I was racist. Though, the people that actually know me describe me as anything but. I’ve had it both ways. Someone from a minority group just automatically treating me like I’m some mouth breathing klansman. Or, conversely, I’ve had other white folks just automatically assume that I share the same hatful opinions that they have. Either way, I correct them very quickly.

Ever been in a mountain town while there’s a wildfire? That’s the closest I’ve ever experienced to what I imagine Silent Hill would be like. Dense heavy smoke everywhere. Can’t see more than a few feet in any direction. Wildlife is scarce. No one is outside doing anything. It’s just ominous and scary. Plus, the added bonus of barely being able to breathe.
