Re: Classist language insult rant

...Well, yes. But not exactly the same way you mean. I'm from the South and the state specifically is one where most people don't raise too much of an eyebrow if you're eating something that you obviously hunted because it's actually pretty common [...hunting is a *huge* hobby here]. So it's not so much the people here who do it, but the people who come from out of state [and, generally, ouside the South]? Ooooh boy. I think that, so far, I've yet to meet someone from the NE who *hasn't* done some variation of "Oh...you're *actually* from *here*? I never would have guessed!*" I'm sure there are plenty from there that don't do it - I've just never met them. It's also pretty common with the other parts of the US that I've met...I've just also met people from there that didn't do it.

So yeah, I've come across plenty of back-handed compliments like that, sadly. And, for whatever it's worth, I *do* think that the stereotype of a lower class hick southerner [and everything associated with that] has a fair amount to do with it.

*Paraphrasing, but the wording/tone of voice always implies that being from ~here~ is some horrible thing.
