You can say that again! I grew up in DC but when we moved back to MA I was shocked at how people talked about blacks and Jews. I had the naive impression that the North was less racist.Not all of the white New Englanders are racially "accepting" of other groups.
Reality bites sometimes.
The people in N. E. can be very closed off and totally insular.
Imagine the type: A woman, after the death of her husband, and after having lived in one small N. E. town for 55 years, was asked in all seriousness if, now that he was dead, was she going to move "back south with her own people."
