I've heard things said by complete strangers, in public situations, that I couldn't fathom anyone saying. I may be from podunk, backwards, hillbilly Iowa, but I've never heard anything here like what I've heard in some of my trips to Chicago.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm not really sure what this is supposed to mean.

It means that I've heard more racist comments there than I ever could have imagined. It means that I've heard the N word and other derrogatory terms used in passing, like it's common place, far too often. It means that I think there may be some truth to what the article is saying.

I've lived my entire life in Chicago, and that hasn't been my experience at all. You've gotta stop hanging out at the Chicago Klavern when you visit...
