White Guilt liberals who call themselves merely "American" because they think they are being noble not to acknowledge the ethnic origin of their forebearers.

Then why would those areas be all over the deep South?

Because southerners are no more racist than any other group of Americans in my opinion, and because of the stereotyping of racism leveled against southerners daily in the media, I surmise that most southerners would be motivated to demonstrate that they are not racist. Also, it was a traditionally Democrat region until recently.

Maybe they are ashamed to admit that some of their ancestors moved to the south from the north.
