[Halley]

I’m not entirely sure. I live in Atlanta, which is pretty diverse (as major cities tend to be), and so I’ve been exposed to relatively little racism. A few years ago, I went on a trip to the northeast (namely Massachusetts and Pennsylvania) to visit various family members I had never met before. They seemed to have a whole lot to say about black people. They made fun of their appearances, and one family member in particular complained about how there’s nothing but ‘a bunch of black people in Atlanta’, and I learned that his wife refused to even try on clothes on her visit to Atlanta years ago for fear that some black woman had tried them on before her. Needless to say, I was absolutely shocked and insulted. I’ve been to a lot of small southern towns, but in none of them have I met someone as blatantly racist as many of the yankees I met on that trip.
