[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the bus. Older black men will let me get on before them, and they will offer me a seat. [/quote] All of the black men I know are exceedingly polite and considerate to me, a white woman. [/quote] I’ve also noticed this and it makes me uncomfortable that they are so deferential. I feel like I’m unwillingly participating in some ugly legacy that has taught them to fear white women. It really stands out because the average white guy is so rude.[/quote] I have also noticed this. I'd like to think that it's because older black men of that generation were just raised to be very polite, but I suspect it's more that they fear being falsly accused at eyeing white women or worse.[/quote]
