I am orginally from upstate NY.I now live in Flordia.I have lived in quite a few different place's in this great country.Racism is everywhere,that's just a fact.I hate to admit it,but even upstate NY has it's fair share of racist's.I was up there about a year ago and I remember hearing quite a people talking their racist garbage.Of course,there are many who aren't racist either.Just like the south.There are racist down here but there are also many who aren't racist in the south as well.... South Carolina just elected their first (India)Indian-American Female ever.Lousiana elected their first (India)Indian-American a few year's ago.Flordia just elected their first Black Female as LT.Governor.A few African-American's have been elected to congress from the south,including just recently..... The main point is this,racism is everywhere.There are also many people from all over who aren't racist either.America in general has come along way over the last 200+ year's.
charles, you have lived in Upstate, NY and God's Waiting Room aka St Pete, FL.
I hate to tell ya guy but you havent lived in "The South"
St Pete isnt a Southern city in any way but geographic.
Try Jacksonville, Daytona, Gainesville, Panama city or Tallahassee.
