Liberal elitists who have never left their big-city bubbles continue to think they are the enlightened ones while people in the South are backward racist hicks. When liberals step out of that bubble, though, they realize the country isn’t what they thought it to be.
Actor Jon Hamm recently talked about shooting “five movies in a row” in Atlanta, Georgia, and how that experience shattered the liberal stereotype about the South. Hamm listed the corporate headquarters located in the city, including Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche, as well as Emory University, Georgia State University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology.

“You go out to dinner in Atlanta — world-class food, fun bars, beautiful music and art museums, the whole thing,” Hamm said. “And it’s not like New York or LA — it’s actually like black people and white people go to the same places.”
It’s a novel idea, isn’t it? A city with black and white people going to the same places. You wonder if big liberal cities might embrace it sometime.
Hamm’s mentions of New York City and Los Angeles stand out for several reasons. Both cities reside in states run by Democrats, not a gross GOP-run state like Georgia. Both are the two biggest brand-name cities in the country. And both are incredibly diverse but also remain segregated.

Los Angeles, for example, is the sixth most segregated region in the country among over 220 metropolitan areas. New York City’s public schools are among the most segregated in the country. Los Angeles has been described as “balkanized,” and New York City as “hypersegregated.” The two cities are liberal darlings, yet celebrities who must leave those cities to film experience a culture shock jumping from these poverty-stricken, segregated cities to integrated, prosperous ones like Atlanta.
The only question left is who would be more surprised to learn that Atlanta is more successfully integrated than Los Angeles or New York City: Confederates or other Hollywood celebrities?
