I don't know if there is a hotter rage than the rage of ignorant white people raging about immigrants.
This country has become a place where dumb ass blowhards (southern state politicians) get elected, enact their prejudice policy wishes, get proven ignorantly wrong (again and again) and then "can't recall" what the original law was all about.....yada yada yada.
Many of these folks are racist, don't want to acknowledge that and continue to hide behind the same stupid ass excuses they have used since reconstruction.
The reality for most of them, they don't like the black and brown people FULL STOP.
My sense is that the particular disease you referred to of racism and the south is not limited to just the south. In fact I would ask, did the north really win the Civil War?
When I was younger I had never been out of the south. There was no internet and the news I got was very whitewashed, the biased opinions of those around me ingrained deeply. I was raised to be quietly racist, in the most "kind" and "Christian" way. That basically meant we didn't talk about it but we all knew it was a reality. I assumed that the rest of the country was more advanced and therefore less racist. When I became an adult and began to travel to different parts of the country and later to a few other countries I learned that racism is everywhere. I learned that "rednecks" or at least what I think of as that classification were all over our country. I learned that non whites in other countries weren't the same shades of brown and black but suffered from white people's relative power just the same. It is everywhere and the single worst instinct in humans, imo. I wish I could borrow some of the righteous anger from folks, instead I am just so deeply sad and disappointed in people, their narrow minds and lack of empathy for fellow humans.

I think my rage AT those hateful ignoramuses is rapidly getting hotter than theirs. That may not be good for me, but it is what it is.
