To each his own, but I’m smart enough to realize that everyone from the south is viewed as a redneck by people from other regions so I’m not going to fight about it with southern folks

It's a common jab, but you'd actually be surprised. I think this stereotype held more weight before the New South experienced tremendous economic growth. And there's plenty of rednecks you can find around the entire country. As soon as you get an hour north of NYC, NY State is about as backwoods as the hills of southern Appalachia.
