Iā€™m a Vermonter, and I agree with you, @jakefrommyspace. Plus, for about as long as I can remember, people have been saying someā€”though not allā€”of what OP is saying. Our state is getting old, people. We need young families to settle here. Of course, we also need actual mass transit, but thatā€™s another post.

This. ā¬†ļø Seems to be worse for Black women. Iā€™m white and grew up here. Never thought there was much racism until I lived in the Southeast (FL, GA, AL). The good news is that there are definitely more POC living here than there were when I left. Somebody advised that you avoid the NEK and I agree; itā€™s pretty much Maga land.

As far as schools go, get involved. Like others have pointed out, itā€™s mostly microaggressive, ignorant BS. But overt racism exists. And like everywhere else in the US, cops stop way more POC than they should. But they donā€™t kill them.
