Sheesh! Well, yes, many NIC and NPC groups here in the backward South do have members of various races. In some cases, I would wager that they have more such members than similar groups in more "enlightened" parts of the country. Talk about geographical bias.
And for the record: Of course I am not in any way denying the history of racial discrimination and segregation throughout the South. We know it has been a deeply imbedded part of culture here for centuries. But in many cases (not all, of course), that knowledge has spurred Southerners to be more aware of racial problems and to work harder to eradicate them than some people in other parts of the country who prefer to think that the South is the epicenter of racial prejudice.
