Despite the context, this town has a dark side.
Intolerance seems to be a common, almost tolerated practice.
It disgusts me that anyone could utter such hateful words about people they don't even know. These attitudes are everywhere. It is clear that parents play a great role in the socialization of a child. Some would assert that in rural areas with little cultural or lifestyle diversity, intolerance is more prevalent than in urban areas. Therefore these intolerant parents pass on their attitudes to their children.
