It's not even a part of the South.

Never quite understood this gripe about the burbs when the urban landscape is nothing but one indistinguishable block of living quarters after another.
Put a discernible entrance and curve the streets and everyone loses their minds.

I'm going to take a guess and say you live in Rape Highlands/ White Rock or Bishop Arts area?

Addison starts getting pretty far south from those areas.

What a cliche I'm not sure if you can fit more condescension or smugness in one sentence.

Brown sugar, amirite?

I mean that's why it's there. White sugar for me, light brown for the Mexicans and Asians, dark brown for the blacks.

Having lived in both, no it isn't. Atlanta's ghettos are worse. South Dallas is the only place in the city that intimidates me... well that and the Exxon station across from the Rustic.

The big box/chains thing yes, but I can't imagine most LH/WR people whining about racism or homophobia.

Statistically Dallas crime isn't that much better. But "felt" crime is generally worse in Atlanta. Part of that is because there is a big minority middle class in Atlanta, so there just isn't all that much segregation. Good thing and bad thing, but the blending of communities means most Atlanta criminals aren't going to immediately appear "out of place" in the huge majority of neighborhoods, even nice ones.
I'm sure that's offensive to someone, but it's just the reality. The real world doesn't look like a Brinks commercial.

2 places where I have felt the most out of place in my life is some gas station in south Dallas and the Aspen farmer's market during the off season
both places made me incredibly uncomfortable, but for obviously different reasons...

I honestly can't remember why I stopped where I did, but yeah, it was made abundantly clear by a few of the locals that I was not in the right place
I don't think I finished filling up

You just have to stare them down. They'll look away.

city people who act smug toward the suburbs really grind my gears.

Yeah, Northern Burbs are a lot of things, but racist and homophobic are not among them.

I despise suburbs and given the choice, would never choose to live there.
But I get the reasons why people live there and if I were to move to Dallas or Houston, I would more than likely suck it up and live in the burbs.
Luckily (or unluckily...) I can afford to live in the "urban" neighborhoods of Shreveport.
Probably wouldn't be the case in Dallas.

I despise suburbs
I love the city and that's why I work in it. But I prefer the quiet. More importantly though, I understand people have different needs and tastes so I don't apply mine to them.
But I've had people IN MY HOME make snide remarks about "ugh suburbia" and I've just straight up said, "you are more than welcome to walk your arse back to your capitol hill efficiency" The odd thing is, I'm not really in suburbia, I can walk to the metro and to a few bars
