No, the south is noticeably more racist. More overt, and more of it.

- monocasa 8y agoAbsolutely. Just a couple years ago, it was decided not to hook up public transit in Atlanta to the new Braves stadium because, in the words of the county commissioner "we don't want to attract a certain crowd". The old white dudes running the show refer to MARTA as Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta. I've also personally seen a friend assaulted with a brick on school grounds, on camera for being gay. The school and police refused to do anything against the assaulter. I left Atlanta for a reason, and haven't looked back. EDIT: would love to know why examples of institutional racism and homophobia in the south would be downvoted.
