I am pretty sure that phrasing comes off as aggressively rude in all regional variants.

  For what it's worth, that kind of surety that one knows every region comes off as rude in quite a few places as well. For example, it was quite amusing and annoying watching a coworker insist that the rural area I originally came from isn't rural because it doesn't meet his personal definition, though he had never even been to the state. "I don't see why" is a valid way of expressing a lack of understanding combined with a spirit of collaboration where I am from.
