But, as someone who was educated with Mississippi's self-appointed elite (boarding school) and has lived for three years of my life in that state (business in Jackson), let me say that racism/elitism are intrinsic to the Ole Miss persona precisely because so many "Rebs" are still ridiculously insular and casually racist. It is the specific disease of the State of Mississippi and I don't see it going away any time soon. Although it is undeniable that it is improving.
That's pretty harsh.

In big ten country, Ole Miss may be better known, but it's better known for bad things like the custom of the rebel flag, dixie, and colonel reb. Miss. State may be less known, but Ole Miss is known more for negative things. Most folks up here find bulldogs as not-negative and Miss State does not carry the dead weight of Ole Miss and it's integration history.
If Faulkner lived in Starkville, Ole Miss would be in worse shape.
