That's refreshing to hear. It's funny but some of the most racist people in America can be found along the so called "bible belt".
As a minority myself one of the things that turned me off from religion was that a lot of the most racist scumbags I knew were in church with me every Sunday.
I think for a lot of them religion is just another way of separating themselves from another group. Hey look at us. We're pure white chrisitians. Anything less is beneath us. Elitism at it's finest.
