Then make sure you actually experience the real Atlanta and not the suburbs. Too many people come, spend most of their time outside the perimeter in the outer burbs and think they actually experienced Atlanta. Hit up mid town and Downtown. Go eat in Buckhead or Dunwoody Perimiter center.
I wish you well, but I don't like questions like this that are asked on here. This finger pointing from Northerners and people from other parts of the country on the "racism" issue are hypocritical for a number of reasons.
Number 1: Racist people exist everywhere, and they are more abundant in other parts of the world than the American South. Yet liberals and others enjoy acting as if Southerners are the only people on the entire planet guilty of this sin.
Number 2: The accusation and label really isn't fair considering that the South has many more blacks and hispanics than the North does. It seems the Northerners who lecture Southerners the most about race, live in states like Vermont where all their neighbors are white. Pretty hypocritical if you ask me.
Number 3: White people up North who have lived around minorities (in the same densities as white Southerners have), are more or less pretty racist themselves.
Let's stop labeling the South as "racist". It really isn't a fair label for a number of reasons. Stop being ignorant.
I think whatever you choose the major point here is.... city... not rural area. To me the south is very similar to the rest of America with these different mentalities... we just have more people in exurban/rural areas, which often sways our political leanings.
I think Houston would be your best bet. I have been here for 3 years and can not believe how open to acceptance people are here. I thought it would be different with Houston being in the Bible belt but it is just so diversified. You see people here from all over the world. It seems like only about half of the people speak english as their first language it seems. Well good luck
Actually Houston straddles the bible belt; it's not in it.
If a place is predominately catholic, but surrounded by the bible belt, does that make it part of the bible belt or no?
Only reason why Dallas has a large catholic population is due to it's large Hispanic population. Same with Houston to a lesser extent, but Houston has always been more religiously diverse than Dallas.
Anyways, yes it's still located in the bible belt.

Houston is predominately catholic for the same reason Dallas is. Hispanics.
Houston may have been predominately catholic for longer, but the reason is the same.
