I agree that it's not more of a _______(name any geographic area) thing.

I tend to think it's most likely to happen in places with populations diverse in race/ethnicity and in areas with lower economic status, but I don't have data to back that up. Eta: It's about conditions present, rather than region. The South has a crappy history on this point, but I don't think much remains worse here than it does in other areas with comparable demographics without a similarly crappy history.
