There was some large program at work where they were flying my friend and 6 other people to Chicago for a seminar (Chicago is the headquarters). My friend was really excited to show them around Chicago and have them see where she's from, get their reactions.

They ended up cancelling the event at the last moment, and my friend was shocked that all 6 of the people admitted to her that they'd been TERRIFIED about going to Chicago. She showed them pictures of downtown and her area on the north side, but they still couldn't shake the idea that women were being raped 24 hours a day on all downtown streets. It was very strange.

It was a very ignorant office though. One woman once told her in front of everyone to avoid the Memphis airport at all costs, because it's owned and run by the blacks. She looked around and everyone was casually nodding in agreement.
Tell me about it.

I work for the top real estate company in the state and I had to show my boss where South America was on the map.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

I would not go there. I believe it happened here first.
