Southerners have a history of being rude whether in your face or behind your back. LOL. Even the phrase "southern hospitality" was initially used to describe a culture of white inclusion and nonwhite exclusion. Be hospitable to those who belong here and don't be hospitable to those who need to either get back on that ship or move Up North.
The dynamics discussed in this thread are rooted in group conflicts and pursuit of group power. Those in power found the least powerful groups to manipulate in pursuit of economic and political power. It wasn't "personal" but it darn sure involved some rudeness. The South is not the only area that participated in this but it darn sure is the only region still holding onto things like "southern hospitality."
