I just want to point out that the people of Louisiana had the option to vote for a white supremacist (David Duke)  for the senate this year, and only 3% did so, while 58% voted for Trump.  That's the same percentage that voted for noted racist Angela Kaaihue here.  I grew up there in the 80's and 90's, and its not like you remember.  It's still far more segregated than Hawaii and there is a widespread mutual distrust between races in a general sense, but individuals do tend to give individuals of the other race a fair chance.  I think the Democratic Party's methods of preaching victimhood is far more damaging to the South's blacks than the Republican party or any white supremacist remnants.  BTW, I've never received any negative comments or noticed any funny looks when I go back home with my Asian wife.  I do admire your stand for what is right against your father and community in a time when that must have been very hard.
