I can honestly say that it's just as bad where I live, in the middle of the Rust Belt. No, the racism isn't outspoken; there are rarely instances of derogatory epithets fired over racial borders. But in and around a fairly large metropolis, there is a phenomenal disparity in the demographic representation of whites and minorities. And no one seems to care.
