Has being a minority affected your travel experience?
Have any of you faced any bias, good or bad, based on how you look when traveling solo anywhere? How do you deal with it?
I was thinking about traveling to Nashville, TN for a 1-2 day trip in April after finding a good flight deal and some cool things to do through this sub. I was also considering traveling a little east to see the waterfalls if I ended up staying longer. However, I've never traveled to the deep South and I'm probably being super ignorant, but is solo travel still as fun/safe if you're a minority? I've been to some rural areas in Florida for outreach programs where I definitely felt racial undertones, but I was always with a group so I never felt unsafe. Nashville's a big city, though, so maybe I'm overreacting? I'm an Indian/Brazilian female (basically an ambiguous brown) and I've lived near Miami, FL my whole life, so I'm not sure what to expect. Again, sorry if this comes off as ignorant!
