I'm a native Virginian who has lived in Michigan and Ohio, as well as Alabama and Louisiana, and now North Carolina. My brother lives in Boston, and my racially mixed half-sisters went to college in Massachusetts. Based on *my* life experience and that of my siblings I "know firsthand" that "Yankees are far more racist and intolerant than Southerners." THAT IS NOT FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE AND NEITHER IS YOURS. It's an interpretation based on a non-random sample. My observation is that Virginia and North Carolina have far better race relations than the Northeast, Great Lakes states, OR Deep South.
