Where I'm from (Texas) it's not like your stereotypical redneck rapings as seen on tv. It's close though. I live in a suburban neighborhood in the city and it's probably like anywhere else in the country. A recent job has made me go into the country to work. There I deal with many a missing tooth rednecks. They are crude and often times racist and ignorant. One image stands out as I type this. There were a few guys standing around talking about something. What we were working with smelled awful. I heard one of them say that smells like my ex wife's pussy. I saw him turn and smile and what little teeth he had were green. They are racist beyond belief. It's almost like going back to the wild west. Anything unique where you live that people might not know?

Oh, the ironing...

I worked in the High Island field offshore in the mid to late 80's and lived in Youngsville, LA. Racism was blatant and right out in the open. ie, White-only grocery store and bars in town.
 
Hmmm, I live in Bushwick Brooklyn, a neighborhood that was in the process of gentrification before the recession. I now live in a neighborhood full of latino families (mostly mexican), and what was most revealing to me was their interesting social order. I used to think that one family would have like a dozen kids, but it now seems like these families are actually multiple families living under one household, but with a strong matriarch (who takes care of the kids). In other words, there's one designated stay at home "mom," but she doesn't have a dozen biological kids, she's just the one who stays home to take care of her kids, her nieces, her nephews, etc.

I apologize if any of that seemed racist, I really do like living among other cultures and felt like Christmas in Bushwick was kinda a beautiful thing - these people work their butts off doing the shit I'm too prissy to do, and they treat their homes/neighborhoods with respect and really break out the Christmas decorations, which is pretty awesome in increasingly agnostic NYC.
 
Many people who live in california believe civilization ends at the state borderline. When I was still in college a few years back, one chick thought Alaska was a country 🙄
