Both North & South. Racism is everywhere but more prevalent with rural folks who happens to be less educated. Fact is, there are some highly educated folks up north and urban areas who are more racist than the word itself.
Here's an example of blatant racism that I encountered in Illinois. I was in a very "white" community and was asked by my cousin's friend how I could live in North Carolina with all those black people. I was shocked.
I've lived in Nebraska, Wyoming and Delaware. Comparing the three states I've lived in Delaware is by far more racist than NE or WY, and it goes both ways. The attitude of the people toward each other and their own individual attitudes are vastly different. There is a lot more racism in DE than NE or WY. And considering DE is technically part of the south being below the mason-dixon line then yes I would have to say that the south is much more racist than the north.
The first time I visited Louisiana I was shocked at the level of racism, I had never experienced it before growing up in a small town in NE.
It's funny how blacks were held down in a more obvious way in the South and for a longer period of time, and yet white Southerners are much more comfortable living amongst and interacting with blacks in general than white Northerners, who have historically fled to the suburbs when blacks move into their neighborhoods, hence the reason why most large cities in the North are like a black core with a big, white ring around it. Racism is apparent in both the North and the South, just in different ways.
Well ... Well ... Well,, yet another pitifully dopey thread about "Racist" !
Some blighters just can't seem get to through a bloody day without worrying themselves about which blokes might or might not be a racists ! Quite !
These muppets without doubt imagine they see a racist around every corner and just love to keep fanning dem ole racist flames dat keep dem folks in the States all stirred up !
Perhaps the self appointed, save the world experts on who those horrible ole racist might be would do well to get a freakin life and begin to fret over some of the important stuff ah going on ere in America like the illegal drug plague, the illegal alien debacle, or the pathetic political leadership ... you know 'the bloody important stuff ! What !

This is a fairly clear explanation:
Nebraska: 2000 (total population) W 93.53% B 4.48% Density 23/sq. mi
Wyoming: 2000 (total population) W 96.19% B 1.01% Density 5.4/sq. mi
Delaware: 2000 (total population) W 77.65% B 20.28% Density 442/sq. mi
I don't see your typical Nebraskan or Wyoming running into a minority with the tiny nonwhite population and sparse population density. It's hard to have tension with someone you don't encounter
This is only like the tenth thread on CD about this. Perhaps the OP could read some of the old threads before starting another one.
For real, they just never stop.
