We found that more prevalent in the northeast then we have here. Try living in an area that is 97% white and see how they react to a minority.

How 'bout putting the criminals up in Superior? It's fairly close to arctic up there and not many people would notice the difference.

I worked with a gal in Waukegan that was from there. After having a good job being in Illinois over ten years she decided to go back home, missed her family and her mom. Last I heard she was having a hard time finding a decent paying job and Superior wasn't what she remembered either.
