Well, southerners are nice. As long as you're from the south...non-catholic...not a yankee....baptist...from america...in a lower tax brackett...have no problem with humidity...eat pork three times a day...related to a family member on more than one tier of your family tree...white...do not work in banking. As long as you fit all these criteria, they're very pleassant. In the town I was raised in, there was a sign on the side of the Dairy-O until 1983. It said: "N*gger, don't be here when the sun goes down!"
people always think that people in texas are like cowboys and still ride around on horses....which for the most part isnt true. they also think we are ALL george bush loving rednecks, which is mostly true, but their still a good amount of texans that arent rednecks and dont obsess with bush.....i hate when u are like "im from texas" and the person from another state u r talking to is all "oh your from texas? do u have a horse?" its annoying as hell...................

My father opened a buisness there, it lasted about six months. Once word got out that he was a yankee AND catholic, no one would make use of his services. Things have changed in teh south though. There are catholic churches all over the place, even in the smallest town. Hell, I was baptized in St. Leo the Greats Catholic church, in NC, after being born in New Mexico.(Which was also where I went to grade school)

well im from england and i get alot of sterotype thoughts on me. ive had people think im a spoilt posh brat in some big mansion with loads of money nice cars and good food(this is thought by msot americans i know online >>;; not everyone lol). i eat take-aways live ina two story council flat in the middle of knowhere with a crappy old grey volvo and hardly any money at all for spending use. >>;; people used to think i dressed all posh in nice expensive clothes XD i dress as scruffy as possible and as evil as possible 😈 also in the uk (i live in the south) the northeners think of the southeners in the same manner lol. i go up north alot to visit my partner and i get funny looks because i talk differently and use different words and such, and i look at them when they say different words for something i know and stuff. its weird its like being in another dymention.
my friend fromt he USA also told me his mother came to the uk and he thought jsut because one person said to his mom it was weird, that we all thought it was weird she took a shower everyday and stuff like that. see its all like assuptions* people do judge a whole nation on jsut meeting one person from that place. fair enoguh the uk does have its snobs but every other country does to o.O;; XD i would hate to be like that. i would rather be in the USA than this shit pit >>;;
