You’d be shocked how many people actually believe that bullshit.

I’m not surprised. I have lived in the hills of E. Tennessee my entire life and it amazes me how many believe we are like that. Friends of ours from Wisconsin came to visit several years ago and wanted to go see some real hillbillies. It took forever to find some and when we did, it took a 4WD to get there. They were disappointed that they weren’t like the ones in Deliverance. 🙄 They were a little nervous around the mountain people we did find but I reassured them that as long as they were with me, they would be fine. LOL
Aggravatin’ ain’t it?
Back in the 80s I took a trip to Northern California, the girl I was dating was from there so we went to visit her family. One night they invited a black couple over for a cookout. They had been told where I was from and I could tell by their reaction when they met me they were expecting me to don a white sheet and hood and commence to burning a cross......they were more than shocked when I had absolutely no reaction to them being black and carried on a polite conversation with them the entire evening.
Unbelievable SMH
