Hello, I am trying to get an idea about what you guys think of Southerners. Southerners can also offer opinions. This is a friendly conversation about the changing of the South.
To start off, I am an Indian (South Asia) who moved from the North to the South a couple of years ago with my parents. I have made some observations. One of them is that the areas down here are developing fast and many northerners are moving in. Imagine yourself as a Southerner who has lived there for many generations and all of a sudden, half of you city is populated by "outsiders." Anyway, I think in some parts it is more than half.
This post is not too coherent but I just wanted an opinion about what we all feel about each other. I saw a very interesting program last night on the History Channel about Hillbillies. Many misconceptions were covered on that program.
I believe that people in general are similar everywhere. The minor differences are cosmetic. One region may differ due to education and social upbringing but in the end, people want to do the best for themselves and their families.
Blah, sorry for this extremely unorganized post.
