> Inner cities and specific (relatively uncommon!) rural areas

Rural areas are not the issue. Inner cities are not the issue. In America, % African American is the common factor. Overlay your map (at least for the east coast) on % black population.

I’m not saying this to be edgy or divisive but both the data and anecdotal experience agrees on this.

Having in group/out group dynamics where the outgroup is systematically stomped on does cause problems eh?

Or do you think the reason why the Deep South (and these inner city areas) is such a consistent problem has nothing to do with history?
