It depends on the context just like it does in the south.
Northerners love to get cocky and pretend as though these dynamics somehow get lost the further north you drive. In fact, nonsoutherners period like to pretend that is the case. Segregation, racism, discrimination, and overall inequality persist in every region of this country. That is the case regardless of how many people claim they don't see it happening in their own background and how badass people pretend to be about whooping someone's ass or tearing down flags. People in every region (that includes the billy badass northerners) see things they disagree with everyday and have to learn how to ignore things that offend them everyday. Whooptywooooo.
