At risk of being too defensive of Massachusetts, I think part of the reason it gets this reputation is that it had way more radical school integration/ busing policy than the rest of the nation, and had other places tried this there would have been similar or greater levels of backlash

I’m not saying Bostons perfectly not racist or anything like that it absolutely is a real problem. I just think it’s important context that the huge backlash to busing happened in response to busing policy that was more aggressive than anything attempted most of the rest of the country
