People definitely assign a lot of racism to us down here, but it's really not the case for the most part. Asheville just voted for reparations for black folks displaced by gentrification, it's really watered down, but shows where the popular opinion lies here.
Don't get me wrong, we still have a lot of reactionary presence in the suburbs and farmlands, but they aren't nearly as active and vocal as the leftist working class in the service industry.
That's good to hear. Surprising to me as an outsider, but a more pleasant surprise.
