Politically the American South may be backwards and the people you describe above may exist somewhere, but the South can be a very welcoming and hospitable place (for all races), with some of the most fascinating culture and delicious ethnic cuisine anywhere in the world. Nobody seems to defend the South except those people who make a bad name for it.

Haha, in fact most of the Americans that I've met over the years have come from all over the USA, but the southerners that I've met tended to be the warmest and friendliest of them all.

I actually saw a documentary several years ago about the KKK and it stated that membership was actually at its highest in some of the northern states which surprised me, Michigan or a similiar state seems to ring a bell as actually having a high membership in the USA but I could be mistaken on which state it was.
