NC is small compared to CA. Within hours you could be in SC, which is one of the most racist backward bigoted bible-blot bubba places on earth. its not NC, but if you were to live in charlotte, as opposed to RTC, you’d feel it. Then again, you drive just as far out of LA and you’re in Bakersfield, which might be similar…
CA is crowded, expensive, superficial, and damn large. Its economy is among the largest in the world. There are lots of “illegal” “mexicans” here. They are a foundation of the economy and work harder for their keep than most. In NC, black americans have still the overcome the legacy of enslavement in an environment that condemns them to a prenially marginalized state.
Every place has its merits, stereotypes and little niches of humanity. Generally, suburbia anywhere disengages people from interacting with those who might differ from them, perpetuating sterotypes, resulting in human automata rather than critically thinking folk.
