>There are minorities out here and we all get along just fine.
I wonder if we talked to minorities in rural communities if they would agree with your assessment.

I have found that people that don't like being questioned/challenged have something to hide like a con-man or someone selling fake luxury goods.
Look, everything is contextual -- your rural area may be superior in some respects to the ones I've been to. But you also shouldn't assume that your experience is universal.
Edited to add: if you haven't been to a big city in a while, you should take a trip. They're not generally the hellholes you've been led to believe by right-wing news media.
Never once came close in rural America, ever.
I wish I could alleviate their fear. Given the opportunity, people are people, good & bad do not stratify in any meaningful way along the arbitrary lines that get drawn.
Cities usually kill people by ignoring them until they die. Exceptions are so rare that they become the stuff of history books.
The big upside of cities is that nobody cares enough about you to actually hate you. If you're running away from something, that can be pretty inviting.
