    Boston's hardly the only town with this long-held reputation, but among the major Northeastern cities?
    The leader in the clubhouse.

    True. Boston is celebrated for being such a sports city, but when it comes to race there is nothing to celebrate.

    Austria?

    Spent some time there and that pretty much explains it.

    The only other country where I met more racists was Switzerland

    Liechenstein is a sleeper pick when it comes to racism.

    You're probably thinking of Kurt Waldheim, but a relatively recent (candidate?) for president also had Nazi ties.

    Check out any local Yankee telecast, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything but white faces in those shots of adorable kids in the crowd. And, it's been that way for years.
