I can vouch for the segregated aspects of the south East. As someone who lives in the north east, I went vacationing to Florida for 2 months back in August, and the entire mentality between anyone who was not white was a drastic whiplash compared to the minor instances that are seen in the north.
unfortunately the ideology is so ingrained into normal living culture, that when I confronted my family who I saw doing it as well they didn’t even realize they were doing it and in most cases couldn’t seperate capability from the color of the person’s skin. It’s just something that they did. Not right but when everyone around you has the same ideology you tend to get blinded by it.
Being said it’s not like it used to be, it’s not like it’s actually written down like it used to be with color/white bathrooms and such, but that doesn’t stop psychological discrimination and prejudice.
I even got gawked at for talking to a groundskeeper when I was going for a walk, it was so unreal.
