BTW, this is more indicative of the rural south and smaller cities, not urban metros like Charlotte, Atlanta, Memphis, Dallas..

Do you realize you bemoan others for their supposed stereotypes, but then engage in stereotypes yourself? Do you also realize if you added up the metro populations of the areas you listed, you would have the vast majority of the peiople of the south? Do you realize in that, your entire post is inaccurate? It would have to read that MOST in the south are NOT as you described them to be.
I think you need to stop holding on to outdated stereotypes, read your own posts before you post, and oh yeah, dont think I haven't noticed you again didn't respond to my original post to you about 4 or 5 posts above.
Oh yeah, I'm from NYC but have been to all of those metros and many rural areas of the south. It is a land of great diversity. Your gross stereotypes are simply ignorant.
