Ohio Valley checking in.

I moved here from California, and the open racism was not something that I expected. As a pale older white Irish guy, the locals think they can spout off racism as if we are talking about the weather. It is also significantly more segregated here than what I am used to. White and black people simply do not mingle, or even share the same spaces it seems; this is bad for all of us as the more you meet and interact with people who are different than you, the less bigoted you tend to be.
