Nah, not Mississippi. Commented before, always felt welcome and accepted traveling with my Filipino wife. Not last trip. Can't articulate it, can't point to specifics, but it was suddenly weird. Even my white ass could sense the racism leaking out.
We were in a thrift on the side of a country highway. I'm usually trying to drag her out, but this time she was in and out in a hurry, I shopped for some time. Guess she felt it.
