You want to pretend there are no racists in the US that’s your prerogative. I know the US far too well not to buy that. And I lived in AL for 2 years and actually met some self proclaimed “racists”.
I have a friend that ran an entire town in AL.
He is no racist.
He left the place rather than be labelled
My own Brother was persecuted as a shop owner in India.
He is a good soul, but he has fled.
