Urban Kids on the Woods.

Last month at a minimum wage rally march, me and a guy I know from the mayoral campaign ended up marching near this (younger) (taller) (scruffy) white guy who was walking a bike and, as it turns out, helps lead local urban kids on wilderness excursions with some local non-profit that he's a part of.

He said like about once every trip, they're in the middle of the woods, and some kid wonders if they're going to see someone out there with a knife.

Because the kids only know the woods from horror movies, usually, some assume it'll be like what they see on TV!!!

It's funny how not only do non-urban people stereotype the city based on media consumption, but urban people stereotype rural areas.
