[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a Southern thing to think Southern culture is more "respectful". It's not-- it's just different. Nobody's trying to disrespect you just by doing their own culture rather than yours. Just like if I brought whoopie pies or a maple custard pie to a potluck, or called a hoagie a grinder. I'm not doing it to be rude. It's just what's normal in my culture. You shouldn't expect me to be of your culture just because you're nearby.[/quote] Southern gentility has always been a thin veneer over violent oppression anyway. [/quote] Exactly. It's not really about politeness, it's a constant need for reassurance of one's superior place in the hierarchy. [/quote]
