There is as much racism at Auburn as there is at any other institution of 20,000 or more people between the ages of 18-22. I went to graduate school at Auburn. In my 2 years in Auburn, I never once saw or heard anything that can be construed as racist. I think these comment are people trying to keep the stereotype of Southerns being backwards and ignorant. I’m from Chicago, very liberal, and I found Auburn more conservative than I am used to, but quite moderate overall - we we all should be. Racism exists, but it’s on the fringe like there is racism at Stanford or Harvard or Yale. Just a stupid question to ask.
