Reply #63: Because the northerners

[tavalon]

feel comfortable and not much attacked. So they don't feel the need to band together to form a "brand".

I've lived most of my life in various parts of the South though I am currently trying with everything I have to get my life permanently moved to the Northwest.

I wish I could corroborate Maddy's story but with the exception of Austin, TX. I've encountered most of the racism I've seen in the south.

A friend made an interesting observation recently, though. She said she likes the South better because down there, the racism is right in your face but up here, in Seattle, where racism isn't PC, the racism isn't gone, it's just much more covert. That took me aback but after looking at it through her eyes, I had to say she had a point.
