I would say that the issues I saw in MS were racism, truly the black vs. white thing. The Boston situation sounds far more like a cultural thing than racism. I’ve seen the cultural thing play out in places like South Florida, where the Cubans have been displaced by the Haitians, the Haitians by the Guatemalans, etc., etc., as the waves of immigrants come into the country and gentrify the area. The cultures seem to have little tolerance for each other, and the ones who are the most “landed” seem to feel a sense of ownership, resenting the presence of the newcomers. How quickly they forget!
