It isn’t.

I have traveled all over the world and all over the United States. Boston and New England are no more or less racist than anywhere else in general in the USA. You can go up the street and meet someone of nearly any color who is racist, and walk ten steps further and meet someone as un-racist as anyone you will ever meet.

Ignorant people like to say it is so because somehow it makes them feel bigger in some way. The same people probably get all their knowledge about Boston or New England from watching movies with Matt Damon or Ben Affleck in them.

When I hear someone spout things like that, it tells me far more about that person than it does about the place or person they slander.

Thanks for that great reply.

I’ve heard the racism accusation re: Boston often and just didn’t get it.
