You’d think, but there’s lot of people that make eating meat a thing all right.
I never got bothered for eating meat, but I got approached several times by complete strangers while getting veg food because they HAD to mock me, convince me or explain nutrition to me.
Every group has their fanatics.
It’s a mixed bag, as the other commenter said.
Not American, but news here have been focusing heavily and specifically on immigrants instances of crime for years, pushing often the same talking points Fox News uses; it affects people’s perception of reality, they feel threatened and they are given no perspective on how prevalent it actually is or the systemic reasons why.
Now that doesn’t justify the hate they display, but many could be led to reason if the outside pressure leveraging their ignorance stopped.
