There's more of a culture shock moving from city to country than there is from country to city. Everyone is a little more racist in small towns, both sides. Everyone will know who you are and your name because you are the new face in town. Rural life is great but its definitely a slower lifestyle....slower in every way possible. Takes longer to check out at grocery, takes longer to get dinner, takes longer at hardware store, everyone wants to chat. Its great but it took some time to adjust.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted for this but it's spot on. Since moving to a small town it seems like I hear two or three slurs I've never heard before every few days.

Lived in Houston for 10 years. Blacks and Whites just lived and worked together. Its more of a poor vs not poor situation instead of color. If anything the racistness was directed at Hispanics. Moved to St Francisville, LA 8 years ago and black/white just exist around each other. They don't associate unless it's a necessity. Like an imaginary line of separation. Just my observations...people from small towns really like to talk about how they aren't racist tho...which is strange.
