I was in Tucson talking to someone. I mentioned I was was from Albuquerque and their response was "I'm so sorry!" This makes me grumpy. Yeah, Albuquerque is a little rough but nothing like the violent hellscape people seem to think it is. At first I blamed breaking bad but I noticed that the haters often share certain socioeconomic characteristics. I think that the problem is that Albuquerque has lots of brown folks and poor people and the city doesn't pretend that they don't exist. #NewMexico
