That makes no sense. Alabama is infamous for its racism

Yeah but they think "racism" is "saying 'colored' instead of 'African-American'". Like they totally fail to grasp the severity of Deep South racism. They think hardcore racism is something that happened in the past, that we as a species have moved on from it, and surely (surely!) hysterical accounts like this are just gross exaggerations.
