I find it interesting that 7% of Latinos agree with White Nationalists according to this poll. And that the Northeast and West had more folks who agree with White Nationalists than the South. Similar numbers for those who agree with the Alt-Right.

The northeast and to a lesser extent the west can be every bit as racist as the south.  It's a different kind of racism sure, but it's still very much there.


And Hispanics can hate blacks and Jews just as easy as a white guy, why would you think any different?  Bigots come in all sorts of colors.
Oh no I totally believe that this is true. It just goes against the common idea of the white Southerner being the last vestige of racism in the United States.

It is really is unfortunate that there has not been an effort to develop symbology for the South that isn't tainted by Confederate history.
