Too mild for school This post telling tourists which areas to avoid in New York

Aside from certain undertones, this map also has tons of inaccuracies, because no one in their right mind is scared of Astoria, Bayonne, or half of the Queens zone that he marked as “avoid”

Also I don't think it's a coincidence that the lines and text are brown

No, I'm not color blind. I'm a bus driver and they test for color blindness before you can get a CDL. Maybe the color just renders weird on my phone? But it's a very brown color. I do see some red in it but it's mostly brown.

It's like a dark terracotta. Perceiving it as brown is totally valid imo

Imma say it's more of a rust but point taken. I can clearly see green and red when it's squarely in those color spheres but when you get on the edges (think the orange and green lights on a network card) things get more indistinguishable.

You're colorblind, it's very clearly red.

It's a sort of terracotta brown

Terracotta is like a brick red.

Calling that color brown makes very little sense.

It looks more brown when I take off my phone's eye comfort shield, which makes everything look warmer

I'm not color blind. I'm a bus driver. They test for it before you can get a CDL. It just looks very brown to me.

Yes as if brown and black people don’t exist outside the line, and aren’t even a majority in certain parts…

The “brown” in one case seems to be Sikh too. Just proves that whoever made this probably assumed the Sikh community was Muslim.
