I've spent a bunch of time travelling through these places for work. I'm vegan and surprise surprise there is almost nothing I can eat. All the veges have either meat or dairy or both.

Good thing is often they will have a tin of beans on the shelf for sale and some hot sauce, so I never went hungry.

Also really nice folk literally 100% of the time. You won't find that in the cities.

Bonus note - i'm a foreigner and it never made any difference, I was always treated the same as everyone else.

In my experience these folks are nice 100% of the time, unless you're the wrong color, religion, and/or sexual orientation.

I grew up in the South and ate at little hole in the wall BBQ places all the time. Never saw any outright discrimination. Many establishments were owned and and operated by black people. I must say cuisine is one of the few uniting features of the south. The racism is still there, but it is quieter, subtle, and behind closed doors most of the time. It’s very sneaky and many people miss it.

I’m sorry for your experience, that seems painful.

I’ve has the opposite. I grew up in the south as an underrepresented minority and I found the gas station / food shack food culture to be really inclusive and taking orders from anyone who had money.

Granted, I grew up after the civil rights act, so it was probably different under segregation.

I’ve only ever experienced “we don’t serve your kind around here” on tv and movies.
