View submission: Three Palestinian students shot and wounded in Burlington, Vermont, police say

View parent comment

I lived there for 5 years (2012-1018).

I remember watching the movie "Get Out" while I was there and going, "Yup. This absolutely depicts the culture of Vermont."

They are progressive and liberal... and < 2% of the population is non-white (I think those numbers changed a bit recently, but that's what it was when I lived there.)

They are NIMBY in both housing and racial diversity.

The first openly, OPENLY racist white man I ever met was in VT... and I spent 10 years in Florida in the 80s, for christsakes.

I wasn't there during BLM, but reading that now... It's sad to say that I'm not really surprised.
