There's also no myth involved, from the comments I've personally heard...from neighbors and golfers I've played with.

Of which, is not meant to say that they represent the vast majority, however it happens often enough to prove...that it's certainly NOT just a "myth."
So the proof of rampant racism is an article about a few Police in Fruitland who were KKK members and then got fired, plus some comments you heard on the golf course?

From the article: it's exceedingly unusual these days to find a police officer who is secretly a Klansman," said Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups.

Exceedingly unusual is the opposite of rampant. Most don't judge their world by comments on the golf course.

Something to look into if you are concerned about racism. Blacks die by homicide at 8 times the rate of whites, not by Police, not by whites, but by blacks. Thousands of them every year. Last year cops killed 9 unarmed blacks, some of them were shot by black cops.

Looking in the wrong places will not solve the problem.
