The untrustworthy city slicker stereotype doesn't come from nowhere. Nobody ever engages with these people except to take their money or tell them they're backwards hicks and their way of life is somehow wrong/bad (this being an example of the former).
- redisman 8y agoSome do care about people left behind but they usually don't care about a big social media boost to their ego so you don't really hear about their work
- Nasrudith 8y agoJust because it "comes from somewhere" doesn't mean it is valid. The rural they would already be disinclined to trust those from without - their mechanisms of trust are based upon personal knowledge and history which outsiders lack. Also the latter is clearly bidirectional. I haven't heard of the urban calling the rural "not real Americans" for one.
