Oh fuck off, you obviously haven't been to half of these states, especially considering you dumped New Mexico into a list with Mississippi. How that would ever make sense is beyond me. What would you even be fearing? Burritos and Barbeque?

I wouldn't fear anything. But I'm white. If I were not white? I'd fear the corrupt cops, the corrupt legal system, and the corrupt banking system to name a few.

  Banking system? How is the banking system in those states different than the one in the others?

    Because the man at the desk that's in charge of giving personal and small business loans is more likely to be a daddy-tells-me-how-to-think redneck.

      Have you ever been to the Southwest? (California counts for half credit at most.)

I'm from New Mexico, and it's a grand place. However he might be thinking of the backwards and corrupt policing of the state. For instance, http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-new-mexico-police-search-20140116,0,186240.story http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-new-mexico-... http://www.elpasotimes.com/latestnews/ci_25024804/new-lawsuit-alleges-illegal-body-cavity-search-new http://www.elpasotimes.com/latestnews/ci_25024804/new-lawsui...

  yeah, I'm from New Mexico too. Grew up in Farmington, lived in Las Cruces a year, Albuquerque has always sort of been home base. Still, I lived in SLC for a decade too and I've been in SF for 4 years now, and I've spent a lot of time in West Oakland. I also have a good chunk of family in Louisiana. Guess what? Cops are retarded everywhere. In NYC they stop and frisk you for being a minority on a Friday night, and in the Bay Area they just kill you on BART. Of course, these things happen occasionally but pretending like New Mexico (especially from that list) is some sort of place where minorities aren't welcome and overflowing of racism (notice Oklahoma wasn't even on the list? Trail of tears anyone?) is probably the silliest thing I've ever heard. Granted, the Deep South still has a ways to go.
