I wouldn't say I was offended, I was just trying to point out that the US South does not hold a monopoly on ignorant rascists. The South still has plenty of rascists, but it's a lot more subtle than it was. Overt acts are rare. I would say the most visible racial flashpoints now are in the big cities like Los Angelos and New York.

Groups like the KKK have been weakened by the most powerful attack possible here in the US, the civil lawsuit. Rascist groups have been bankrupted by lawsuits seeking damages for acts perpetrated by members. Without the money, the organization folds. The rascists still exist, but it's harder to recruit, sucker in a new generation, and get the message out. I hate lawyers (does that make me rascist? ), but this is an example of the legal system working for good.
