South Carolina gave us Stephen Colbert
yeah and he is so down with SC culture right?
not... he was born in DC, went to school in VA and Northwestern... worked in Chicago and NYC...
"The emphasis his family placed on intelligence and his observation of negative stereotypes of Southerners led Colbert to train himself to suppress his Southern accent while he was still quite young. As a child, he observed that Southerners were often depicted as being less intelligent than other characters on scripted television; to avoid that stereotype, he taught himself to imitate the speech of American news anchors"
