    Yes. My experience has been that nobody is as racist as Northern men who move to Florida. My ex said he went to “the white school” in Michigan, up north is segregated for real. We had enforced school integration but as a kid I was not aware of it, just went to school with school kids - it still got sort of segregated but not really, and my kids even less so, it does work.

    But then those guys move down here and are not prepared for how diverse our population is. And they react badly.

      In the South a black guy can be your neighbor but never your boss, in the North a black guy can be your boss but never your neighbor.
