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. 

I've heard plenty of republican neighbors or friends of friends call Obama or black people n word.  It happens.  I'm in Austin area the supposedly liberal hideout of Texas.
