I think we might make a modern parallel with the attitude of Northern and
Southern US Americans towards US blacks and slavery. Much of the impetus
towards freedom of the slaves came from the Northerners, most of whom had
never seen a black slave, but after the freeing, when many blacks moved to
the North and were competing for jobs and livelihoods, they were treated as
intruders, worse than the Southerners had treated them. On the other hand,
in the South, most black folk are treated as people who belong there,
although the poorer whites try to emphasize their superiority by virtue of
race.

That's a huge oversimplification of the "race problem", but, for the most
part, pretty much what I have experienced. Except, I would not say that last
phrase is quite what I've seen. I've seen a lot of "poor" Southerners who
are totally not race-concious, and a lot of the "Old Money" types who are
rabidly so.
