But we have this perception thing going on, don't we--that rednecks are southern, racists are white, narrow-minded folks are midwestern, etc., and the truth is that there's plenty of fault to go around and the other truth is that, as you said, most people ARE very nice.Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-5579550071872892052013-06-18T07:44:40.730-04:002013-06-18T07:44:40.730-04:00I agree.

What I discovered was that they were more racist and red-neck than anyone I knew in the south. That's the way they were raised. Most people there were very nice though.

Not all Californians are tree-huggers, nor do we all live near the beach. <br />We're not all anti-guns, don't all speak Spanish and most of us have never even seen a celebrity.
