This happens in the north, too. I grew up in a reliably blue northern state, albeit in a very white area (and I am white myself.) After leaving for a few years as an adult (going to a very culturally-mixed area, in a southern state, ironically) and coming back, I was able to see all the casual racism that I hadn't noticed before. So many people absolutely say shitty racist things when they think they're with someone who will agree. They might be surface-level polite when in the presence of somebody brown or black, but as soon as the room's full of white people again, that filter is gone.
