South makes sense once your realize the original states were founded either by rich assholes who lost the English Civil War and other cases dirt poor rednecks from Ireland/Scotland.

well really it's both; the rich assholes got the good farmland and the dirt poor rednecks had to settle for the cheap seats in the hinterlands

Nobody likes Dragon Age 2. I'd go so far as to say that Liking Dragon Age 2 is a good indicator for Downs Syndrome.

I really loving hate that game.

This mire generally true on the coast. Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas were populated more by the middle and lower classes looking for cheap land. That's not to say that rich assholes didn't win in the end through land speculation and the inevitable trickle up of capitalism making large plantations swallow up small ones, but in general the settlers of those deep south states were lower class than say Virginia or south carolina.

Re accents: I like some of them. Shelby Foote comes to mind. I could listen to him all day. The patrician Virginia accent is nice too. Some drive me up the loving wall. Tennessee for instance makes me want to drive 10 inch screws through my brain. Oh and the new Orleans accent... gently caress me I'm a horrible person, but thr black New Orleans accent is horrible. When I heard all those man on the street interviews from Katrina I wanted thr whole city to wash away*.

*not really. More midly annoyed by the accent.

Southern Accents-It all depends on where in the south the person is from if it sounds nice or godawful. In southeast,Ky it's a hosed up fast mumble thing.

My grandfather was named Sloan, he had two brothers Pug and Square. Cool names IMO. I am from Texas.

Also, Texas is the South where the landscape is green and Southwest where it starts turning brown.

the weirdest louisiana dialect is yat, which sounds pretty indistinguishable from how working class people speak in new york https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yat_dialect

if you go to NOLA you'll sometimes hear people chattering away and assume they're northern tourists but they grew up in that city and they've never left the state lol

I dunno. The more I think about it, the less funny it is to have a guy joke about killing and raping brown people and knowing in hind sight thay if he had the opportunity hr would do it. Even if they were fellow Americans. So that's the story.
