To be honest, large numbers of white people used to weird me out until I got to college. I wasn't scared, it was just a culture shock for me, since my neighborhoods growing up mostly consisted of blacks, hispanics and a few asians. I got over it after my freshman year, since I was around mostly white people for that time period. I think if anyone is uncomfortable around a certain culture or race, it's mainly due to limited interaction with them. This is also why I avoid rural white areas as much as possible. I almost always get followed by cops or get weird looks by the locals.
Super religious people creep me out though, and I don't think that will ever change. They just have this weird glazed over expression whenever they talk about religion.
Religious Person Encounter Story: I bent one of my car rims while on the freeway, and I had to get towed to a garage. The tow truck guy asked me where I needed to go and I told him to take me to my dealership, so I could drop my car off. He suggested a different garage that was closer to where we were and I said okay. A few minutes pass and he asks me, "So have you accepted Jesus as your lord and savior?" I'm thinking, "Ah shit, here comes the bullshit." Not knowing whether he had any kind of weapon on him, and seeing as how we were deviating from our original destination, I decided to just go along with it and I said yeah.
He turned on his radio to a religious station and I just sat there in silence as he made comments about the Bible and the places he had worshipped in his life. Longest 10 minute drive of my life. When we got to the garage, I think I said something like God Bless or some shit and went in to the garage to see what could be done about my car. Good times.
