I've seen it in the South a lot, a kind of multi-generational heritage of resentment for being on the losing side
Of course, the Southern side (the poor Southerners, that is, black and white) didn't stop being on the losing side until WWII. But that's still a few generations ago. And one terrible thing is that the better they seem to be doing, the worse they picture themselves.
