Why do most people assume things about the South?

  • I'm from Mississippi, and we're always made fun of, especially up north. I've met some people from up there and they tell me that everyone thinks we're just a bunch of redneck dumb asses. That isn't true, and most of them haven't even been out of their own state, much less to Mississippi. Why do people assume we're dumb? Doesn't every state have dumb people in it?


  • I am from the North and living in Mississippi. Its pretty much true. You guys are WAY more mean then we are too. Plus you jam all the Jesus Christ stuff down our throats. Oh yeah and the obesity and education levels are pretty bad down. Sorry but it is true in some sort of since. But I doubt that people who live in Mississippi are really go getters, which is alright. Different strokes for different folks. We all have our own perferences. My biggest beef is you guys have a heard mentality. If one person does something you expect everyone to do it. Almost to the point of being pushy then when you are met with resistance you get upset like we are the ones at fault for not adhering to your ways of living. Also very needy people. Hard to relax around you guys too. Most of you just spend all your time trying to prove you arent gay, which infact is VERY gay.


  • Because they're the ignorant ones. I'm from NC and i get that crap all the time from people. Assuming that some one is uneducated just because of where they're from is being uneducated yourself.


  • I grew up in NJ but my mother is from MS. I know that people in NJ feel that southern people are stupid. It is just plain old wrong. And, they also feel that all southern folks are racists. That is a load of bull too.

    My great grandfather was the biggest racist and he was born in NYC and lived most of his life in Phila, PA. On the other hand, my grandmother from LA was loving and friendly to all people. A black person came to her door needing something she would give it to them...no questions asked. She would even take care of the black kids when they got sick.

    It is just people from the northeast who think they are superior to everyone else. Just remember that not ALL people from the northeast are like that. 9 times out of 10 I would get along with you pretty well. And, I can't see anything in your question that makes you look stupid.

    I don't know what made you ask this question but I would not worry about it. A person that judges you for where you grew up is an idiot anyway. You can not generalize. That is not fair and people have to remember that each person is different.
