I met many like this in the early 90's when I attended a small university in upstate PA. I couldn't believe it. It was like we were transported back in time, literally. We (the small group of Blacks on campus) experienced blatant racism, not so much on campus but in the small town. There was only one black family in the whole town and it was the home of a professor at the university. I learned a lot from that experience and will never forget it.
