I'll look for that.

This is so true. It must be true everywhere, like Germany, Russia. I heard there is a similar feeling in the Netherlands, the north/south thing.

I try really hard not to stereotype southerners. It's just that as I was growing up in rural Colorado, so many of the people with the strongest southern accents also turned out to be the most bigoted and fat-headed. And bullying. In my case they were almost always west-Texans.

I know it's not true across the board, but it's funny how those things get rubbed into your skin.

The funny thing to me is that I live in the South, and I find way more bigoted and fat-headed stuff coming out of Northerners mouths whenever I'm up North. Two examples right in this very video as a matter of fact.

Someone should tag this *nsfw for the racial slur.

I tend to fall back to my regional Bornholmish accent whenever I talk with someone from Bornholm. Accents are fun.


"They talk like niggers" *nsfw

The yank dropped the n-bomb! I though you northern folk weren't supposed to be no racists or anything up thar?

I was born, raised and have lived in the South my whole life. I speak proper (American) English, and I do have an accent. I don't hear it in myself when I speak, but when I hear my voice on a recording, I'm thinking, "who's that redneck talking?"

This also reminds me of a time I went out with some friends. We were waiting at a restaurant, it was cold or raining or something, so everyone was packed inside waiting for their table. We were just talking to each other, and some out of town couple next to us must have been eavesdropping because the woman leaned over her husband/boyfriend/whatever and said "did you hear that, they said y'all."

People are awful all over the place!
