No! Don’t even hear the subtle shit anymore. Which is both weird and heartening. I get the feel that people who wish to speak like that don’t say it to me. I’m pretty redneck in certain contexts, maybe the long hair makes then shy? :)
OTOH hand, I rarely get the impression that I’m being “felt out”. Only time that happens is when someone wishes to express a liberal view. :)
And yeah, I get the medicine thing. And yeah, we need to talk genetic history! My first wife was a pale redhead, notorious folks for pain-killer resistance. OTOH, we got medical professionals who think black people don’t feel pain as whites do, stuff like that. What a mess.
I’m glad you don’t hear the dog whistling. It gives me hope, although Ron Got I DeathSentence.
I don’t get “felt out” either. It’s just said, bluntly or subtly, sometimes because people think I’ll automatically agree, others because they’re poking.
Edit because fur baby bumped my hand: it’s a mess, agreed.
