[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Souther Italian here. It's a NORTH/SOUTH thing, same as the US. People in the US make certain assumptions about people from the South (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana etc) ....hence Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. (stupid, poor and uneducated) And certain assumptions about people from the North (educated, wealthy and healthier).[/quote] Those assumptions don't hold true for many northerners. Neighborhoods in Harlem, the South Bronx, and parts of Brooklyn have at least a third or more of those who live there dealing with poverty on a daily basis. Plus, consider the fact that African American and Hispanic families often live in those areas--talk about prejudice, poverty, and limited access to adequate healthcare. It may be "fun" to laugh at the Honey Boo Boos, but there are plenty of people in northern areas who could also be mocked (but shouldn't be) for their ignorance and behavior. [/quote]
