In fact, I find it kind of regionally offensive how often this discussion devolves into the over-simplification of "Oh those racist Southerners." The cadre manifests all over the country, including in places like Arizona where their beef is more with Latinos, and their racial resentment plays out in things like banning Mexican-American studies. Or in California, which not only bans all affirmative action but had more than 1/3 of voters in a high turnout election voted to ban the state government from even noting race on forms.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.com
