Again, I've found it happens on both sides - you get Southerners who come up North and say that things are better down South, and you get Northerners who go down South and do the same thing. There are obnoxious people all over the country. |
Some people are really serious about these regional loyalties. I think that's dumb.
On a lighthearted note:
Does anyone remember the episode of Sex and the City when Carrie was telling her boyfriend that NY women don't wear scrunchies? They saw a woman with a scrunchie in a club. The woman said (with a VERY strong Southern accent) "Oh mai?! ohhhh, nah...I'm from Nauth Currrlina. Honey, did you hear what that lady just said, she thought I was from NY?!" That definitely played on a stereotype.
