Why does Hollywood and all yankees think exeryone in the south talks like they are from Marietta, George in 1885?

Makes me want to re-start the war.

Hollywood is run by people who think the space between New York and L.A. is "flyover country".



The fact that there are many types of Southern accents is of no interest to them. They regard the South as a place of tongue-speaking snakehandlers who lynch blacks, home school their children, and refuse to make wedding cakes for homosexual newlyweds.

People from the north don't spend half as much time thinking about the south as vice versa.

Why should they? The North and its unholy trinity of Hollywood, Washington DC, and the Ivy League dominate American media and culture. We are forcefed their values every moment of every day.

I was replying to the post about them hating the south. Most northerners don't give the south enough thought to from an opinion.

Inferiority complexes run rampant in the south.
