It’s funny, it is “the future” for them. Like it was a photoshoot or something of things to come. When in reality it was just a normal weekday in the likes of New York or London.
Whoever made this meme almost certainly doesn't live in the city so for them, it is a potential future if these ideals spread to rural areas of the country. Most of these rural people never leave their town, let alone state. And now they have the internet to broadcast their bigotry to the world. 30 years ago they would have never even known people like those in that picture existed.
Non-bigoted rural person here. 30 years ago was the 1990s. I get the idea but people around here definitely knew Muslims and drag queens existed.
While the point stands bigotry is rampant here, it's naïve to assume one being from an urban area instantly makes them a forward-thinking based superhero. There are good people here just as there are bigots everywhere.
I suppose I just am bothered by the idea of someone just drawing a circle around more rural regions and going "this is the bigotry zone, where all the bigots are."
Better should be expected of people regardless of geography.
