It makes me sad, but this is true, and it's not just in "north" vs "south", it's largely rural vs urban. As a city person in the US, if I hear a Texan or Southern accent, I instantly assume the following about that person: 1. They are hard right-wingers who voted for Trump, twice, and probably watch OAN and Newsmax all day. 2. I should not talk about anything remotely sensitive in the presence of this person, and I cannot ever let them find out that I'm bisexual. 3. They will be easier to anger than other people. I don't know why I assume #3, but I do. Also, city vs city. If I hear a New Jersey accent, I assume: 1. You have poor character 2. You're very shallow 3. You probably have several STDs. If I hear a Boston accent, I don't assume anything immediately negative about you yourself, but I do assume that you grew up in a slightly grimy city with slightly rougher people.
