<p>I lived in California until I was 12 and then I move down here to Alabama. Being from there and being of mixed heritage, Ive heard and seen a lot of backwards stuff while Ive lived here haha. Im half black, but Im going to Bama in the fall probably. I guess Im screwed from all this stuff you people are saying! ;)</p>
<p>A lot of people call Mizzou racist. They used to fly little battle flags at the games a long time ago.</p>
<p>Missouri was a slave state, and had a star on the Confederate flag.</p>
<p>UCLA loll jkjk that was a reference to Alexandra Wallace (Gosh I feel bad for UCLA. She’s ruining their reputation).</p>
<p>No matter how deeply conservative the South may be, I guarantee you their universities are staffed with the usual leftist professors. bell hooks, a whitey-hating psycho leftist fruitcake, is a professor in Kentucky for crying out loud.</p>
<p>I dont have time to read all the posts. Did anyone mention HBCUs?</p>
<p>AS of today, it is UCLA</p>
<p>edit: never mind :rolleyes:</p>

<p>You can move North.</p>
<p>ZING!</p>
<p>The most racist colleges in the country are often those in the North.</p>
<p>I forgot about all those Northern schools with deep seated pent up confederate civil war racial tensions</p>
<p>There’s racism/racial tension in the North too and there always has been. People have always tried to deny its existence (with unfortunate results) but it’s there.</p>
<p>Btw, I don’t really understand how this “most racist” thing can be measured - I mean, that’s fairly nebulous and each person’s response will be based solely on his/her experiences/preconceptions…</p>

<p>Like it or not, the South is much more diverse than many areas of the North. Whites and Blacks interact much more often on a day-to-day basis in the South, while the North remains quite segregated. I went to school in New York before I came back to the South and honestly I heard the N-word more in Syracuse (from northerners) than I have in North Carolina.</p>
<p>Whenever I go up North, I wonder why they think that they don’t have racial problems and we do.</p>
<p>I interact with blacks, whites, hispanics, everything basically, every day. I live in South Carolina, yet, my neighbors across the street are Mexican. My neighbors on both sides of me are black and my other neighbor across the street is white. I also have asians living in my neighborhood.</p>
<p>I live in a very middle class average neighborhood and there have never been racial problems in my neighborhood.</p>
<p>South Carolina is much more diverse than many yankee states that claim not to be racist. You’re comparing apples and oranges. A predominantly white state won’t have the same issues that a very diverse state has.</p>
<p>Anyways… BJU… haha. They’re a strange lot.</p>
<p>You can’t judge a whole region’s view on racism by how many times you hear the n-word while in school. Words have intentions, and I am positive that everytime someone says the n-word they do not intend to be racist. I guarantee you the n-word per capita in durham is far greater than in syracuse. But, this doesn’t mean Durham is more racist, does it?</p>
<p>Northerners often interact with Native Americans a lot though.
I live/attend a university in a smaller city in northern Minnesota and while the city is definitely mostly white, I have never really heard a lot of racist comments. Maybe because it is a university town (with many international students), that might have an effect. While we do not have a large African American or Hispanic population, the city does have a very large Native American population (Three reservations bordering the city). </p>
<p>I guess it just depends on the people you meet. I consider my dad to be a racist but I don’t agree or like his absurd comments.</p>
<p>read “Sundown towns” by Dr. James Loewen. Dont let europeans try to fool you</p>
<p>Racism isn’t exclusively located in the South (although there is a lot). It’s all over the country and difficult to escape from.</p>
<p>I heard Brigham Young isn’t exactly a welcoming environment.</p>
<p>I’ve read some students at Washington and Lee U. refer to African-American students on scholarships as “Johnsons.” It is a reference to the Johnson Scholar program, but the tone says something else.</p>
<p>I searched this thread, and Jeremy Lin didn’t come up.</p>

<p>Don’t think that the South has a monopoly on racism, and don’t think that racism is exclusively limited to white-on-black.</p>
