What do you make of this map, then? It shows scores on an Implicit Association Test, measuring subconscious racism by white people against black people.
There is a liberal-conservative correlation on the map, a but far stronger correlation is the racial makeup of the state. The "deep roots" of racism don't seem to go away with exposure. Other empirical data, such as Robert Putnam's work mentioned in another comment, suggest just the opposite.
