2/6 Noticeable how in Georgia, nearly all the people who served us were Black. And unlike in Manhattan, where everybody just trods along in their usual grumpiness irrespective of race, in Georgia there are two very distinct groups: those whose friendliness is way over the top, so much that you can’t but conclude it must be fake – although it doesn’t feel like it –. and those who are openly hostile.
