That's BS. I'm a Yankee born and raised (Pittsburgh) and not one single time did I ever hear anyone say anything negative or disparaging about the South. Then I moved down here and told people where I was from, and it was 'Yankee this' and 'Yankee that'. To me it seems like the southerners are the ones with the problem. Heck, I didn't even know what a Yankee was until I moved down here.

i have had a very different experience, but that's good to know. also, i've generally tried to limit my redneck exposure while living in the south, so i only hear good-natured ribbing about the north while in the south. but the shite i've heard about the south, while living and visiting outside the south has been appalling. and this includes so-called sophisticated people.
