It sounds like a very idealistic book, so maybe the author wrote the KKK with the same intent as the town's embracing the women's relationship: knowing it's not realistic, but wouldn't it be nice if it was?

[(Anonymous)]

I think that's closer to the truth. The whole book is a very romanticized view of small town culture in the South. But as you might guess, being comfortable with a portrayal of that culture being cool with a lesbian relationship is one thing, being comfortable with the portrayal of the KKK as good ol' boys who don't mean any harm really, they just like having parades, etc. etc. is a whole other kettle of fish.

But KKK members being super racist dickheads except for the "negroes" they knew and who they made double standard exceptions for is ENTIRELY realistic. In a lot of small town communities where black people were already present, there was this weird thing where the "outsider/insider us vs them" trumped the "my race your race us vs them" mentality.

Also, in quite a few small towns, something like being part of the KKK was weirdly play-acting for a lot of members. You're part of this small community inside your community, that's really neat, a place to belong, all your buddies are there as well and they share your values and hey, you don't actually have any reason to lynch any blacks because the ones in your community are okay! (Until it's not and then mob mentality takes over and people die but hey, that doesn't happen here!)
