re: ****American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare season thread****

I don't think it will have a racism focus per say, but just in the first episode, we have white gang playing knockout game on black male, because that happens so much. The rest was mostly Matt's assumptions about the south. We were made to believe that the white southern cops wouldn't actually help an interracial couple (I mean they did just get rid of the confederate flag after all), racist rednecks, blah blah.

Now, the locals very well may have other motives as has been said previously to trying to get rid of them, but as far as the first episode is concerned, racism was painted as a huge factor in everything.
