ask the Southerner
Would you like to ask someone from the U.S. South a question? Would you like to know what it's like to live here? What's it like to be a liberal in a conservative environment? Fire away!

I can also help out answering these questions, if you don't mind Verte...though you're more deep south. I'm up here in the capital of the Confederacy

Is it true that some southerners view the movie "Deliverance" as a love story?

Constituents used to send moonshine to one of the Kentucky Congressmen (not the one I worked for...though we got bourbon balls).

Is fried food really popular in the South, as the media would have us all believe?
Do utes with confederate flags really exist, and do rednecks actually hoon around with guns while riding in them? If you're thinking my questions are horrible stereotypes, they are. I'm really keen to know what is true (or has elements of truth at least) and what is just bogus.

Thanks, verte and unico. I reckon this is the key with stereotypes is realising there might be an element of truth, but 97% of the rest of you are no different to everyone else. It's unreal to think there are some who do fit this, though!
And verte, that is so cool you work 3 blocks from The Whistlestop Cafe! That's awesome!! I love that movie ![]()

well...to be fair, i am only looking at one area. so i wanna retract what i said, because i'm sure there are cities in the south that are completely different from this one. the most south place i've been to is orlando...and i didn't see a single confederate flag my time there.
but my gosh, the culture is so different even in this state. I grew up in Northern VA, then went to Southwestern VA for college, then moved to DC, then back to Southwest VA again where I am now. The residents of Nova, as it is lovingly called, don't even really consider themselves "southern", myself included. I don't recall seeing confederate flags until I went to college. It is funny, how just 5 hours away, the culture can completely change. Over here where I am now, yes fried food is quite popular, as is sweet tea. EVERY restaurant here has sweet tea. And the flags aren't just flags, they are stickers, magnets, tshirts, patches, caps, bandanas...you name it. |

The Confederate Flags (stars and bars) really exists. The Sons of the Confederate Veterans would love to see their flag return to the state of Georgia's flag: http://www.scv.org/ |
