On the flip side are those so quick to toss collective guilt upon others. Perhaps for what your ancestors “may” have done centuries ago. This can sometimes be offset; people who live in Berkeley or San Francisco get a pass.

I say “may” because those tossing the guilt don’t know you personally, you just seem like you might have the wrong background.
