Man, another one. If when someone says "tea" you think of China then you are not a southerner. And I think it is safe to say that when you saw the word "tea" you knew exactly what I was talking about.

I love living down here and have no interest in EVER moving back north. It would take a job offer beyond my wildest dreams to even consider moving back. There is NO southern traditions or ways of life that I want to change. Do I want to see somethings added, yes. But who doesnt?

What I dont like is the way I am treated, referred to, and talked about by some southerners based solely on the location of my birth.

My introduction to southerners is this...

I moved to Raleigh on July 1, 1996. I pulled into the parking space infront of the townhome i was moving into at Dutch Village. I didnt have a "yankee car" or something different. I had a big, bad ass Dodge Ram Charger. A vehicle southerners like. Well, my new neighbor was standing infront of his townhome. He obviously saw the NY plate on the front of my truck. The second my foot hit the pavement and I was out of the truck he looked at me and said "Great, another fucking yankee." And then proceeded to go inside his townhome.

He was quickly introduced to Mr. Gibson Explorer and Mr. Marshall Stack.

"Man, another one. If when someone says "tea" you think of China then you are not a southerner."

Yo, chill man. It was a joke. I don't think of tea as going with China any more than I think of tea going with St. Louis. "He said, "Great, another fucking yankee." And then proceeded to go inside his townhome."

Oh, that would be a red neck (red neck in terms of the way we Southerners define them. Synonymous with "@sshole." Every population has their share. "He was quickly introduced to Mr. Gibson Explorer and Mr. Marshall Stack."

Huh?
