I'm not surprised that a college town like Chapel Hill is like that. Same thing in Charlottesville. You can get the same type of thing in Austin, Texas. But Charlotte, NC and Winston-Salem. Even Durham is Southern.

What a great idea for a thread. Something I would come up with...eventually.

Mention the Deep South, and they get upset if you comment on their accent or question their intelligence
Mention the Northeast, and they get upset if you think they're not "in charge" of the US
Mention the Rust Belt, and they have to point out that they are no longer rusting... and that people are flocking back
Mention Texas, and they will present you with statistics as to how diverse they now are, and that cowboy boots and big hair is a thing of the past
Mention California, and they will get irked if you think everyone there is blonde-haired and blue-eyed, and surfs
Mention the Pacific Northwest, and they will get p!$$ed if you don't think it's the Promised Land or if you say anything minimally politically incorrect


Regarding Texas, this is 2007, LOL:

Mention that it's hot in Phoenix and, of course, you get, " But, it's a dry heat." Or, an oven is better than a swamp debate. If you go to the Phoenix forum from May-September, this is all you'll hear--how it's not "that hot." And, then the crazy joggers will come forward and tell you how they jog in it and it's fine.

Michigan: Mention one word about taking great lakes water to help thirsty westerners, and youll see the fireworks.

Miami: I think a collection of boxy looking neon lit condominiums gives us the best skyline in the world!!!!

Atlanta: To really appreciate our skyline, you can't take it all in with one look. Look over here. Now over there. Now get ready for this, take out your binoculars....

San Francisco: We're like so organic, PC and super super cultured and cosmopolitan. The bay area has it all, like why would I even need to travel

New Orleans: Katrina who? Say what man, what you talking about.

Denver: We got mountains Look right here, you can see them nicely on this here can of coors.

Mississippi (as a whole): We're not racist boy, now get your colored ass outta our fourm.

Phoenix: I rather be BAKED than STEAMED or FROZEN [types from heavily air conditioned basement]

Houston: We're like so diverse {scratches head thinking of every ethnic maid hired}

Austin: No man, Austin is not Texas. It's the California of Texas!

Seattle: You see, everything is better here than California. We got 4 seasons and are not as HOT. We drive slow because cops are actually BORED here.

ABQ: Eh, I thought this was a made up place in a weird Al song I'm not even going to attempt to spell that ****.

Washington DC: What do you mean big government is bad? I got here a 6 figure job sitting on my ass organizing some senator's desk. You think you're better off with that recession

Minneapolis: What you talking aboooot, eh? And what abooot them lakes?

Dallas: Maybe yall just didn't pray enough to avoid them god sent tornadoes .

San Jose: We're the biggest city in the bay, and we invented your computer. We're not the capital of costa rica

Las Vegas and Sacramento make the exact same claim...VERBATIM.

Seattle is most sensitive about the rain. (duh). However, many Seattleites like the rain and don't see it as a negative. I'm one of them. I grew up in Sea-town and always thought it was comforting.

Seems that they should be getting uptight over flavor-aid jokes, than kool-aid jokes.

It rains here a lots that's for sure, but people who claim it rains 24/7 every day of the year or close to it make me laugh.

I do get sick of the rain though. Can live with clouds, overcast, etc but the rain gets to me.
