Maybe, now this is a wild guess because I don't know anything about how your life is, it's because you didn't grow up with afro american people around you? Then all it takes is a little adaption and then you have it^^ I'm guessing on this because I can see it where I live. I live in a multi-cultural neighborhood and when people come to visit me form outside or hear about it they all go "aren't you scared to walk alone at night then?" or "don't you have much crime around your home then?" and they all get a no, because I've grown up with all these different cultures and colors and learned that way that they are just like me, with a nicer tan^^ but they can't see it because they have grown up in a "all-danish-neighborhood"... is that something you can recognize?
