Nonsense.

Nowadays, everyone probably picks on NC for obvious reasons if you've been paying attention to what's been going on in this state the past year or so. Historically, I think VA does look down on NC to some extent. NC was more rural and backwoods for a long period of time, while VA flourished with many plantations along the James River and well-established cities like Richmond. There might be an English (VA)/Scotch-Irish (NC) division, too. Not to mention UVA and UNC-Chapel Hill being practically identical schools (let's be honest) with a clear rivalry between them, although not on the same level as UNC-Duke or UNC-NC State. Today, both states are very similar but I think VA might be heading in a better direction.
