>>1740421I've traveled through some sketchy fucking areas, some where I stood out like a sore thumb (ISIS territory), some where I blended in. The trick, no matter what, is twofold: 1) look/act/walk like you belong there, and 2) project respect for your surroundings. I would be the whitest motherfucker on the planet walking through fucked up hoods in the bronx, 5k camera on my neck, but I would walk like I both owned the place, and respected the place and its people. Other than psychos just randomly jumping out of the bushes like faggots, most of the reason why people get targeted is because they walk into a place and insult it because they aren't following the rules. Every area has a ruleset. Just follow it and don't be a dick.
side note, chicks do not understand this shit and that's why they get targeted so much. Walking around like waifs with that "heeuuuhh I'm a woman someone help me or do something for me" attitude, then complain
