I can also say OC is one of the safest places to live, with great schools, and great natural beauty.

3 O.C. cities among nation's safest | cities, publication, year - News - The Orange County Register


See, that's wasn't so hard. Then again I graduated from high school, something that the South historically has done at very low rates in comparison to the rest of the Union:
WFU | Social Stratification in the Deep South (http://blog.zsr.wfu.edu/social_stratification/author/stewarkd/ - broken link)



Yup, dumb and racist, the South has it all covered.
You're pretty slow aren't you? Did I ever claim that the south doesn't have a history of racism? I wasn't even talking about the South! I was talking about your BS hypocrisy is generalizing a place then getting your panties in a wad when someone does the same exact thing about Orange County. And how you claim others have an unrealistic view of their region b/c they live there when you display the exact same characteristic as well. Are you getting it NOW? Reading comprehension goes a long way.

Get out of here. OC has a major history.
So because some knucklehead kids spray painted some black guys Mercedes Benz, OC is full of KKK and Nazis?

When you can find an article where a black guy was dragged behind a pickup truck for a few miles by racist in OC, then maybe you'll have a point. For now though, that stuff only happens in the South.

Just as I thought, when presented with fact, you respond with vile and start to back peddle. Your attitude reveals all. Watching your self destruction is entertaining to me. That's sweeter than any victory I could have imagined.

The facts you presented to me have NOTHING to do with what I was talking about. I didn't back peddle, I've been saying the same thing repeatedly b/c you just simply don't get my point or can't come up with a decent rebuttal so you go off on some tangent about something I never was even arguing against.

Not quite the same thing.
I agree. We are comparing a county to an entire region . I can name yuppie places in the south. I can name hick places in the south. I can name yuppie places in the west. I can name hick places in the west.

Yup, just as I thought, opinion articles, historical data from 1926, and a destroyed mural.

That does sound as bad or worse than having a black guy dragged behind a pickup truck!
