It is true.
Having been raised in and lived in the South all my life, you see many more mixed race couples in the south than you’ll ever see in the north. There have been mixed race couples in the south since before the country was founded.
Also you see black and white kids and teens playing together and hanging out together. I bet you don’t see a lot of that in the north, at all.

Texas AAU track team my grandson is on is all Black except for him. His relay team members refer to themselves as the Three Bo’s and a Peep. Never have to introduce myself as they all assume I am the white kid’s granny. Most of the other parents say hello but not much conversation beyond that.
A lot of the black ghetto stereotype is southern redneck transported to an urban environment where it utterly fails due to loss of the fathers in the family.
Then liberal whites on the west coast and north fail to see the similarity in dialect and many behaviors, while denigrating whites with those attitudes and demanding all blacks abide by that stereotype.
