To an extent I agree. If you are an insider or are just passing through, they are friendly.

But when they start to ask probing questions about ethnic background, religion, and that sort of thing, the attitude does a complete 180.

You need to get a good whack over the head with a Political Science book. It will do you good.

I'ved look through many towns/cities from Missisippi, and it looks like you're stuck in the 1950s there based on some of the signage, urban/suburban landscapes, and the like. But it's unfortunate in that it has Memphis just above its northwest corner and New Orleans just over 30 minutes from its southern border, leaving it caught in the middle. I think its just a haven for liberalphobics; not surprisingly, the lack of good industry which contains people of multiple backgrounds lessens the pressure on liberation/spread of political correctness. Most businesses in MS are either family-owned, part of a low to maybe, mid-level chain (there is NO high-end shopping in MS except for perhaps Biloxi), and is basically considered what was considered a 1950s lifestyle in the blue states now.

Why not the 2010 election? In your mind ANYONE that didn't vote for Obama is a racist.
