Fucking weird that someone would even feel the need to put the left one in their shop window 😳

That’s what happens when hateful racists wage war on an entire group of people.

I went to a Cracker Barrel a few years ago and they has a sign that read "Proudly serving people of color since 1973" or whatever year it had. Weird brag

It's to counter the racism, biggotry, and xenophobia present in pockets of American culture.

These shitty types of people avoid or hide within large cities - everyone is typically fine in these places. But small towns can sometimes have a serious problem with this if they are too "red" (Conservative).

In short, pockets of America are very tribal. People bond over similarities, and their shared disapproval of anything different, or out of the ordinary.
