Yeah, it's a problem everywhere in this nation, and I suspect around the world. Those in big cities face more issues, because there is more diversity preset. In the ore rural settings the diversity is less diverse. In other words they have more in common with their neighbors. Thus, race is lost as an issue. They even work together to solve the problems their neighbors may be experiencing.
Cities are more like concrete jungles that have to be navigated, because danger lurks around every corner from the wildlife that roams within the concrete jungles.
