If that is what you choose to believe that is fine. I've had the conversation with a southerner (more than one if you include my cousins, but since the back in forth between them and my dad was more of light banter I didn't count it). I didn't/don't have the conversation because I choose not to indulge in it. People are going to have strong feelings about where they come from and it's pointless to go back and forth and it's one of those arguments where the two sides are never going to come into agreement with each other.
