I grew up in the heart of Pennsylbama (or Pennsyltucky), the vast swath of land in between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and there are lots of virulent racists in that area. Some because they've never actually seen live black people or lived next to them or had them in their schools.

I won't comment on racism in the south, but it is pervasive in the north (too) as far as I can tell.
