I got the impression (I could be wrong) reading the book that it was more of an issue in the southern states. Whether white members there are more racist or whether there are simply more black converts in those areas, I am not sure.
I dare bet that if you polled a typical LDS ward, there would be quite a few people that still believe the folklore. And it only takes a few to cause some damage. And often the biggest dumbasses in the ward are the most anxious to share their opinions.
