[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they are overcompensating for low self esteem. They have a chip on their shoulder about being southern.[/quote]

Ahhh...so how do you explain New Englanders, Californians, New Yorkers, etc being obsessed with their cultures, schools, architecture, deb balls, aristocracy, country clubs, wealth, etc?[/quote]

Those are ego based. Wealthy people are frequently pompous dbags. Southerners of all economic and racial backgrounds have a unique inferiority complex.

Real life southerner transplants in the north feel very self conscious of their accent/appearance/culture. They were taught from a young age that everyone (especially northerners) look down on them so they overcompensate with pride. Just ask some southern transplants and they will tell you themselves.

I'm as southern as can be, and I have never known anyone fitting your description. I think you're the one with an inferiority complex, with a need to look down on others who are not like you. [/quote]
