I would look at the major cities first and foremost. Look at where all the violence is coming from - Chicago, New York, etc. Anywhere in the North where there are a significant number of minorities there are huge problems. That's not really the case here. There is that real sense of bitterness - it feels like a war in the north between two camps that have very little in common and don't like each other. Here? My parish church is more than half minority. Everybody pretty much gets along. I enjoy it tremendously.
