I grew up in an area like that, and when we finally
were exposed to minorities, the reaction was more
curiosity than hostility.  as you said, "Someone who's
not Anglo show's up and they just don't know how to
behave."  But if we're educated wisely, we CAN learn. 
At least we don't have the baggage that areas that
have been long integrated often have.
