The vast majority of republicans and of the south are not racist, but there certainly is a higher proportion of racist tendencies in both groups. I think polls like this: https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2011/04/mississippi-republicans/349433/ are the most telling for such a claim. I would suggest that only by combining the tendencies of both the GOP and the south can you get any group where 46% would say that interracial marriage should be illegal. I'd be interested to see more overall data on the South and the GOP, and I'll try to look for some later. |
That way of thinking is stil idiotic because you're presuming something messed up about a large group of people without any actual proof. Some people think it's fine to just call anyone a racist or nazi regardless if it's true just to try to discredit their opposition.
