Germany miraculously overcame the most catastrophically racist culture in modern history and I'm not quite sure how they did it beyond outright banning Nazism.

Germany miraculously overcame the most catastrophically racist culture in modern history and I'm not quite sure how they did it beyond outright banning Nazism. Meanwhile, I was called a n lover as a child in South Carolina because I had black friends. This is early 2000s, mind you. Judging an entire population on the sins of their father is just another form of baseless prejudice, like racism, so I don't support it. But deep red America is full of racists. You shouldn't judge a person until you meet them, but there's a reason I left the deep South for San Francisco. I was just tired of the fucking racism, man. To the topic at hand - an influx of tech workers is probably awesome for changing the cultural zeitgeist of a place like Tulsa, and given that it's a major metropolitan area it probably is far removed from the culture of the 20s, or the surrounding rural areas. But it ain't San Francisco. It's an entirely fair concern, to have to deal with racists there.
