I grew up in a small town in the south. We were the first Asian family in the town and dealt with a lot of racism in the 1980's. When I went to college in a big city the weekly racist comments were basically gone. I'm not saying that racism doesn't exist in larger cities but it is far better than small towns.

We had two KKK rallies through the town square in my town in the 80's. We have so many right wing racists in positions of power now that I have no interest in living in a small town again.
