I find it highly offensive that you take one giant stamp and put it on the South: racist, bigoted, backward? So the whole South, from Maryland to Texas is one big area with people who are racist, bigoted, and backward. You need to emerge from the cave you've been living in since the 1940's and start thinking for yourself. Wake up- there are good and bad people everywhere. I've met plenty of racists in "liberal, educated" NYC and I've met some of the nicest, non-judgemental people ever in the South. And as far as Oregon goes, I lived in Seaside, OR for a few years and found the people to be quite friendly and not at all racist. Its unfortunate that these stereotypes, which are highly racist in themselves, have not gone away. You obviously are a tool of the media, which unfairly portrays Southerners as toothless rednecks. You're pathetic. I can see why you can't make friends anywhere.
