Absolutely. When I studied and worked in urban planning, I was shocked by the gossamer-veiled racism coming out of people's mouths in the name of "preserving property values," "not wanting outsiders to come into the community," "preserving Minnesota tradition," "our kind of people," etc...

Exactly. I'd recommend reading A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota. Each chapter is a different story from a different non-white person in Minnesota.
