>Be me, black
>Want to work with wildlife
>Go to college for conservation biology, currently a junior and it rocks
>Get offered a job working with grassland birds in Kansas for this summer
>Sounds fun, housing provided and pays good, why not, I accept it
>Learn it's in the dead center of the state
>Very small towns, almost entirely white
>I may be the first black man they see in person
>Fear that people may try to insult me or beat me up, or simply avoid me
>Afraid that one night a bunch of townsfolk are gonna have a lynching party and string me up
I'm also sad because I was really hoping to see a copperhead but they're not in the same county as my study area
