Oh my grandmother was from Nebraska and moved to Chicago in her 20's. Not southern at all. She didn't think she was racist.

I lived in Chicago for forty years (Hyde Park and the Northside) and it was as racially segregated as much of the South, just not as obvious.

Oh absolutely. Terrible segregation. Not just race, but by ethnicity too. Which is why you had Greek Town, Chinatown, Italian, Jewish, Spanish neighborhoods.
