Well, it happened about a week before he proposed, if that helps. He’s for not going and, if I’m asked, use sandra_nz’s line about not being comfortable with the direction the conversation went, elaborating if needed.
I think it’s mostly isolated groups of idiots, ems, but I know they’re still around in some forms – several years ago, when I lived just on the Georgia/South Carolina border, there was a Klan march held on the South Carolina side.

A Neo-Nazi group has just been arrested in Israel.
Let me rephrase that, a group of Israeli citizens, who imigrated under the Law of Return, have been arrested for their active neo-Nazi group, which went around harassing and beating Jews.
Nothing really to add, just emphasizing that you can’t assume that any place is free of potentially violent, racist assholes.
Eternal vigilance, and all that.
