(1,713 posts)I could find people like that in South Carolina too, but they're not at all typical or representative. They're throwbacks to an era that is fading fast in the age of Internet everywhere. They do exist, but they are not the norm, not even close.
When I lived up north I could easily find people just as ignorant and provincial; but finding some crime-ridden ghetto and interviewing the dumbest people I could track down and presenting that as typical of northern states would be just as dishonest as this portrayal.
