WTF is a moon cricket?
This has never made sense to me. Especially if they're natives of a non-southern state.

I hope you enjoy your high cost of living, you foreva renta.
You know what. I'm going to use the hard-R's. You forever renter.
this seems like as much as an issue as black people calling white people 'crackers' or the concept of misandry - ie. it's utterly trivial in comparison to slurs used against historically marginalised groups or the reality of how power structures act within society. you're not gonna face anywhere near the level of discrimination that actual minority groups are subjected to. FOH with that 'arab' comparison.
I asked my former co worker why he had a tattoo of it on his shoulder. Said he thought it was a cool battle flag ಠ_ಠ.
This is up in WI.
OP stop being such a trouble shitter. Like you come in and post about UCF in the playoffs, nobody cares, and you post it again. You just like drama.
I wish my post count was high enough for my American ass to make a thread about anti-Newfoundland bigotry.
I mean, it's not without historical significance that the South gets labeled so much, but I see where you're coming from OP. Mass labeling ALL Southerns can be problematic, especially when there's such a large and growing blue voter base in the major cities that needs support and where a majority of blacks live in the states. People wanting to be cute with those cut off the South memes as if it's the sole source of racism and troubles in the US are really dumb though.
I would also like to point out that our current backwards, sexist, racist, dumbfuck of a "president" was fully born and raised in NY. So Northerners get that one all on their own.

No one uses hillbilly. Cracker and white trash is what Americans say. This is a concern troll thread.
Where have you been? There's an entire cottage industry of Canadians arguing on behalf of American conservatives. Lauren Southern and Jordan Peterson ring any bells?
Happened during the American Civil War (although tbf that was on orders from the UK).
There are people suffering in horribly-run states who don't have the option to leave, and leftist orgs doing important work in the South despite overwhelming opposition. Redneck Revolt AKA the John Brown Gun Club is a good example of one.
While a lot of the stereotypes of ignorance and ricsm are frequently borne out by real people, some of the mockery crosses over into classism that liberals and even some leftists find themselves repeating. Didn't Moviebob recently engage in some awful screed about letting all the horrible racist poors in the evil flyover states die? Fuck that guy.

Lived in the South, my mom was born and grew up in the South, never had an issue with them. I mean there are some liberals who are actually just plain dumb on underestimating the amount of non racists and crazies in cities in the south but eh.
Also hillbilly and redneck aren't slurs lmao.

The only name I have seen white people really get mad about is if they are called white trash but other white people use this term as well to demean
Cracker I don't really see a lot of anymore and I don't think they take it as seriously

i live in florida.
the day i step into an independently run convenient store or gas station and don't see confederate shit i'll reconsider that the south isn't largely racist or redneck.

As a born-and-raised straight white male Sandlapper, we must earn respect and show it while giving it, and faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too many don't.
White trash, hillbilly, and redneck and all quite popular terms to refer to these people. I never hear white people calling someone else a cracker though.
"You might be a redneck if you think a redneck is an oppressed racial class"
OP is a Canadian hillperson obviously. They need to defend their own.
OP i'm Black and from Texas. Those stereotypes exist for a reason. Yes there are many good people down here who absolutely don't fit the bill, but at the exact same time we're full of exactly the stereotype people talk about. Many of the Christian gun lovers I know? Out of shape white dudes.
And while yes personally I don't have an issue with guns myself being from here, there are many people who worship them to an unnecessary degree. Such as my coworker who himself has 32 including 2 AR's in his truck.
That being said. I do think that the North should also look at itself before throwing shade at the south. This whole damn country has issues it needs to fix.

I grew up in New England and don't really recall seeing any not that I doubt you but I was also stationed down south and they were everywhere there. You'd always see confederate bumper stickers, flags etc pretty much everywhere.
I was raised in the mountains of Tennessee... surrounding by gun-loving evangelical rednecks.
And worse, institutionalization of the trait. I had mandatory hunter's safety (including skeet shooting) in grade school, for fuck's sake. It's a little more than just a "stereotype" when your society is leaning into it that hard.
If you want to help the image of the South, ride the fuck out of it on this. Telling people to just pretend like it isn't a problem isn't going to fix anything.

It's almost like "confederate heritage" has always been a bullshit excuse and there is a much more blatant reason for white people to be flying a confederate flag.
I lived in Michigan till my early teens and then moved to Florida. There was very little difference between Michigan rednecks and Florida rednecks except for the sweet tea. They both love certain words and expressing viewpoints when they feel safe in groups.
The only things rising in the south are teen pregnancies and obesity.
OP
OP
Not all Southerners owned slaves. The majority were poor people working in harsh conditions that don't come near what the slaves lived in, but they were victims too. I
This. I'm a southerner as well, born and raised in Texas and I say get the fuck over the stereotype because unlike being black or trans or gay or a woman bullshit stereotypes about being from the south don't lead to decades political, emotional and/or physical violence.
That's because white person 'slurs' were made by wealthier white people. Cracker included.
And those poor people were the most stout defenders of Slavery. You know, because they would lose their standing in society. Suddenly, they were not so different than slaves.
It is a proven social construct. People don't like it when another "caste" lower than themselves gets more rights and becomes "equal" to them while they were lower before.
Oh my fucking God, you went there. You actually went there.
Serious question OP, what convinced you to make this topic? What exactly was the trigger that made you think "Today I'm going to make a thread complaining about a place I don't live in nor am from, and proceed to make a #NotAllSoutherners post about slave ownership".
