If you lived where there was a strong divergence of accents like I do you would realize a degree of income and education affiliation

We simply don’t think much about class period except in old robber baron environs....Newport..... Brewster

Down here...you speak like a hick....you will be judged as one

I saw upper class manhattanites treat bensonhurst and bay ridge and other bridge and tunnel folks the same way

I love how for you only southerners have crappy white accents

You’re such a snob Shermie.....and oblivious to your own bigotry

I said “extreme backwoods southern accents.”

While there probably are “extreme northern backwoods accents,” I don’t recall ever running into them.

Some people in all regions sound uneducated, but that has little, as such, to do with accent.

Many southerners sound highly cultured, more so than most other Americans. I think of Shelby Foote.
