People tend to fear what they do not understand, and hate the things that they fear.

The South is not the only area with an unpleasant history, I think most places have skeletons. Sadly though the South has had a hard time shaking those negative stereotypes.

I hope that Chop's post can be seen as the beginning of an education about all of us; and that while stereotypes are fun in jokes, they rarely offer an accurate portrayal of those affected.
