I'm not from the south so I don't know much about it, but it is displayed in movies, tv, and literature, now and in the past, as a very close minded almost offensively selective culture that judges not on who you are, but where you come from. It's a failing I see in movies much of the time. It reminds me of what people assumed of me coming to school in the midwest being a "east coast jew" as we are called out here
