It makes sense that there would be variation, but saying local variation implies local correlation. Why would that be? Do people feel a need to be racist to about the same degree as their peers?
No, that seemed like the most likely explanation to me too. I don’t remember why I felt a need to ask. Maybe something about how the illusion of transparency can be especially bad in political discussions.

I’d call that extremely likely. If you have a different model, could you describe it?

It would still be good to propose alternate hypotheses.
