I didn’t think people from Richmond sounded like that though but I’ve never visited.

Relatives in Richmond had their daughter's attend cottilion - can't think of much else that Screams southern

My relatives in San Diego had their daughters attend cotillion as well

Cantor doesn't have much of an accent IMO, I can't even hear it, if you're talking about this interview: https://youtu.be/ZVBkxjen1wM

People are big snobs, judging others by their accents and using pejorative terms against someone for where they were born or where they grew up.

Are we supposed to recognize this?

I’m from Macon and of course there are Jewish people in the south. And yes they sound southern. This whole post is beyond weird, like OP can’t believe Jews who don’t fit her narrow stereotype actually exist.

There are many Jewish families in the south.

Even small towns in the South will have Jewish families. Their ancestors were usually merchants (and they often still are).

The ignorance of DCUM women often confounds me.

One of my professional mentors is a Jewish woman from back home and your heads would explode if you heard her say y’all I guess.

Not from Richmond, but same. This entire thread is one big eye roll.

I understand when politicians do it on the stump in front of hicks but not on Bloomberg!

And he’s Jewish — that makes it even more interesting/wild.

I can’t think of anyone I know thats Jewish from southern states actually sounding southern!

There aren’t that many Jewish people down there! That’s something I had to learn. Growing up in Bethesda really warped my perception. But the ones that are there have an accent because why wouldn’t they?

No Jewish person I know from the south (Georgia and North Carolina) actually sounds southern.

Well that’s odd. I know plenty of Jews from Georgia who absolutely sound southern. Why wouldn’t they?

There is cotillion here in the DMV.

No dear, there aren’t.

Yes,dear, they are. They tend to be congregated in certain cities and areas.

+1. Pp is clueless and doubling down on her ignorance.

There are prejudiced people everywhere, along with those who think an accent is a reflection of intelligence
