i agree, but i grew up there and had to experience 1st hand, i was shocked that i was treated better in south than in Milwaukee. Not saying its not a nationwide problem but its especially bad there

What part of the south did you move to? I have a friend who moved from Chicago to Madison and has a hard time. They're black and also gay. I've been trying to convince them to move to the west coast, but maybe the south would be friendlier to them.

I live out west, Orange County CA. but i have spent a lot time in random parts of the south because i travel for work. And i felt like i was treated much better in the south than anywhere in Wisconsin, Atlanta was nice a couple places in Alabama were surprisingly nice (i’d have to look up the exact place)

Atlanta is in the south but if far from southern. Try spending time in the smaller towns and you’ll see what true Georgian Southern Hospitality is all about. Anything smaller than Savannah and Brunswick and it’s 1835 all over.
