Perhaps you’d do better to visit a few places north of the Mason-Dixon line. I’m not sure which is worse: that woman from Pennsylvania who, having actually been in both places should have known better or the people who just go by preconceived notions and misplaced statistics.
I go by the attitudes of Northern refugees that move down here because they need to escape the liberal hell their cities have turned into (with their help) and then whine about our culture and way of life while wanting to change it into the same hell they left.
I doubt that is all Yankees but I’ve run across too many with that mental disease of stupidity.
