7. Yep, Charlottesville is not a racist southern city.

Despite the bad publicity of those marchers ("very fine people on both sides" ), they were outsiders, not from folks from Charlottesville.

Even the area's Airbnb's cancelled bookings when they learned that they were being used by racists at the rally.

John Grisham and Sissy Spacek live in there...and UVa (my son's undergrad alma mater) is in Charlottesville.

However, I think you can find racist wingers in the outlying areas.
