[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That not ALL people born in the deep south are racist and stupid.

I was born and raised in one of those states. I'm frequently in the position of being told an offensive joke, or my new favorite "I would never let my kid go to 'x' college" because of it's location. When this occurs, I like to remind them that no population is 100% homogeneous, that I'm from the place they are denigrating, and up until 5 seconds ago, they had a very high opinion of me.

Loving my life in the deep south, sending my kids to public schools that have better test scores than our MoCo schools.  [/quote]

Yeah the reason I was far superior to my peers at my competitive university is because of an amazing teacher I had in rural/suburban Georgia. (Please don’t judge my writing here, I promise I was good 20 years ago).

But the reason I don’t want to send my kid to college in a red state is because of abortion rights, not racism. Racism is everywhere, it just has different flavors in different places. [/quote]
