As someone who also goes to Bama I’ve yet to meet someone who is actually from the south that is racist. Everyone who I have encountered that has been racist has been from the north. Specifically from around New Jersey. Like they think it’s totally fine and they also try and have a fake southern accent which is annoying
I remember asking someone online from like tennessee what their methods of identifying northerners who'd moved there was(it was under a post talking about this phenomenon) and they said something similar, so yeah I guess throughout the deep south in general people will move there expecting their bigotry to just go tolerated
