Outside of online forums or social media, do you consider yourself socially accepted by larger society and it's culture? Do you view yourself as an outsider with niche interests and opinions? Or are you somewhere in-between struggling to maintain social acceptance?
Do you consider yourself socially accepted?

I'm going for somewhat. I don't take heavy interest in things a lot of guys around me do, so I often can't be bothered or simply can't put any real input on most anything. Don't really like small/empty talk either, so 99% of conversations with me start off prettyyyy odd. I'm not really at odds with much though, so I can't really say I'm not accepted.

quoting the communist manifesto in everyday conversation does not make you socially accepted but what it does is it scares the bourgeoisie and at the end of the day isn't that all that matters?

Not really. Because of the negative associations with my ethnicity, I stand out. I live in Texas so you can connect the dots.
Even when I was in college, I was the only minority male in most classes.
Just yesterday, a guy came up to me because he thought I worked at Toys R Us. I was not wearing anything that resembled a uniform, but I was mistook for an employee. So was my brother. And he was wearing all black. I saw the guy who he thought we were. We look nothing alike. But to this guy, we looked similar???
Also, this probably doesn’t make sense to anyone but people of color. We are never citizens / Americans. We are the other. No matter how many generations, we are still tied to another nation.

The last times I have been in social interactions I have been "with the cool kids", so I don't think I have issues with that. I'm not bullied or anything. I have seen people who get bullied and you kinda feel bad for them.
People talk about segregation here now, between immigrants (muslims from middle east/africa) people in denmark and online laugh at this place for being too kind to migrants, and the politicians talk about how they live without working and end up secluded in society, they all live in the same places with not jobs so no integration with the rest of society.
