TN is ahead of the Deep South states like South Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi. TN, along with NC, GA and FL have had a great influx of "Yankees", and are not as closed and backwards as the other states (IMHO).

Still, TN is a more closed/repressive society than I am used to. The Good 'ol boy network is still very much intact, and race very much matters. There is a lot less mixing of races socially here.
I also find attitudes toward things like alcohol, free speech (expression of anytype outside the "norm"), and life in general to be more stifling overall.
I would agree with all of your sentiments.

I always would tell people that TN, NC, VA, GA, and FL are different from the "deep south". My mom's family all live in SC, while my father's family is from NC. The difference in attitudes between the two different sides of my family are staggering.

I agree that the south is not the only place where racism is alive.
I lived in NY, TX, CA, VT and PA, and I've seen racism everywhere, but nowhere was it as wide- spread as in TX.
