10. you're right it's not all in the south
from my personal experience having been raised in the south and having traveled a lot outside of the south. one of the most racists regions i've ever seen was rural ohio. i'm not trashing ohio or saying all it's residents are racist, only that on my first visit there it really surprised me.

i live in austin and a have friend here who is from michigan. he says he's noticed a few subtle differences between northern and southern racism. the biggest one he says is that northern racists are accepting of african americans as a race but hate them as individuals. southerners hate african americans as a race but have no problems with them as individuals. from the perspective of somebody raised in rural east texas i think he got the southern part right.
