RE: Your state's stereotype
Funny how the South is labeled as racist. Google must have been using RobertN's searches.

Maybe so, LL. But it seemed like Detroit's lasted for most of the 1960s...

RE: Your state's stereotype
That's because the racial prejudice is out in the open, while northern prejudices tend to be shown in much more subtle ways...

RE: Your state's stereotype
We've been taught all through history to fear that which we don't know, the different, those who stand out...
Is it any surprise that anyone who is different in color, attitudes, or anything else than the rest is hated?

Fail. We have not been taught through all history to fear that which we don't know.
Fact is that all peoples like to self-assimilate.
Another fact is that people are inclined to hate.

Think so, Dr. Torch? In prehistoric times, anyone not of the group was a threat. It didn't matter if it was another human, or a large predator. They took food from the group, and their survival depended on their food sources...
That's the basis for that sort of thinking...
