Racism is just as prevalent anywhere in the country. I would say it may seem be more overt in the South because of the language that is socially accepted. From what I've seen the North is more segregated.

The South doesn't have skewed religious views. They are generally middle class, rural working people. These types have a tendency to be more religious. The rural Americans in the midwest are no different. There is nothing wrong or backwards about being religious..it isn't a negative thing.

Obesity is a problem in a few Southern States. Mostly just due to the culture of the food we eat down here. But damn is that shite good!

That's been my experience. They think they are more forward thinking but in my time in the nawth they all keep to themselves. I feel that the south is more segregated but I don't have data to back that up. Just my experience.

To be fair, I'm not referring to Christianity as a skewed religion. It's more of the condemning type attitude and intolerance I see in so many down here. Including my own family.
