hmm. Ok My southern accent is almost gone. But you know what I would REALLY like to see one day? A halt of prejudice toward southerners. Yep I lived a LONG time down south. Yep, GA, AL, TX, and FL. ANd guess what, I have no problem with gay marriage, never did, I was against the war in the 60's, the 70's and even now.
BUT, when I moved up here to the frozen North and my accent was thicker here is the prejudice I met.
1. I must be stupid because I have a Southern accent.
2. I must hate Blacks, Hispanics and every other minority because I have a Southern accent.
3. I must be highly religious because I have a Southern accent.
4. I must be looking for a husband because I have a Southern accent.
5. I must have a closed mind because I have a Southern accent.
6. I must not have a clue about gourmet food because all those Southerners eat is grits and chitlins.
7. I must not be very metropolitain because I came from the South.
8. Since I am female and from the South I must be easy to push around.
I could go on. But suffice it to say.. why not just say the closed minded states and leave it at that?
