Asking as a non-Southerner, what the hell is up with White people from the South? I keep hearing all about how great their hospitality is, but they’ve been (at least the most “Howdy, y’all” good old boys and belles) just culturally the most conniving and backstabbing petty Mean Girls. They’ll act sweet to your face, but you don’t even have to leave earshot before they start talking shit and starting small-town rumors. What, is it some kinda local pastime to start shit without saying it to somebody’s face?
