As a white woman who grew up in PA, I naively assumed only the south was racist. When I actually talked to a black person about it, their response was that the only difference was that in the south, you KNEW who the racists were. Up north it was sneakier, and scarier.

The pedigree of white racist is different. The southern variety is mostly Protestant Scots-Irish, the Yankee variety is mostly Catholic Irish, Italians, Polish, and a few others.
