I was born in Canada, and I live in North Carolina now! I am going back to Canada for the summer to stay with my parents, though. I'm just curious: If I walk around wearing NC shirts and jerseys and stuff, will people think I am a redneck haha?

Kind reminder: You should have specified Southern Americans in your title...Southerners? Southern Canadians? Southern French? South Chinese?

American should stop talking as if everyone else is as familiar with the US as themselves. Last time, someone on the European forum was asking "should I visit Paris or Barcelona during Memorial Day weekend" as if all the Europeans know what the hell "Memorial day" is.

===========

To answer you question: no, they won't. Because they don't know what NC represents. No comment? Nut Crunch? No children? News Corp.? It is not clear to the world.

Everyone knows what NC is and no one calls Southerners "Southern Americans." Your saltiness answered my question anyway.

Most of us base our assumptions off of stereotypes.

You are making no sense here. How can you go to a foreign country and say "southerners" and assume those people in that foreign country know you were talking about people who live in the southern part of your own country?

So if a German asks "how do you like southernersâ€, do you automatically think of Bovaria and Baden-Württemberg?

"Everyone knows what NC is"? Seriously? Tell me what NS means?

Nova Scotia. You didn't even read my OP. You just came here to pick a fight (god knows why). I said I am Canadian.

What kind of stereotypes do you think of when you think of NC / the South?

This forum gets a lot of trolls so when a brand new poster asks a question like yours, it's often hard for regulars to know how to respond although Botticelli is our resident devil's advocate.

I find your question confusing in the sense of wondering whether it is a serious question because if you are originally from Canada, why would you need to ask?

I want to ask because I haven't been back in Canada very often, and it's not like I ever ask people there "what do you think of Southerners?"

On the other hand, I have a pretty good idea of what Southerners think of Canadians, because I live here.

Fair enough. I don't know that Canadians think about Southerners very much at all. I've visited the south and I liked it. I wouldn't think anything at all about what you might be wearing.
