Sorry to be the downer, but things are going to get pretty bad before they get noticeably better. Speaking of race and racism, though, nothing counts if "they" don't want it to:
It should be impossible that a group of mostly white leftists has attempted to kill a gay Asian journalist for the "crime" of covering their protests. But they've done it, and more than once.
It should be impossible that the same group of white extremists stabbed a black man for the same crime (covering a protest as a journalist) and then when he somehow survived and pulled his life together, got him fired from his rent-a-cop job at a grocery store with an accusation that he was racist. Absurdity piled on absurdity, my namesake would nix that plot from his comedy scripts for being too fanciful and downright silly.
None of this should be possible. None of it makes sense. But yet here we are.
