How Many Are From The South (USA)? (page 3)

I live in the south, speak with a very noticeable southern accent, and I used to be a white girl until I started working in this southern sun. I imagine I could still win a white legs contest, though.

You mean the New Orlean's Ain'ts, doncha?

What, a southernor? I ain't one of those hicks! It is spelled southerner, actually. People in Houston are not hicks, but are certainly in the south. There are more than seventy consulates from other countries in the city. We are very international. It's O.K. It is a common misconception among ingorant people that all southerners are hicks. I am white and grew up in Mississippi O.K.- I will have to agree that there are hicks in Miss. I have tried hard to rid myself of the southern accent, but it sometimes sneaks out.

I live in Tampa Bay. I've been here since 83. I am Irish.

I was born in Cleveland Ohio.

People in Cleveland do not have accents.

As far as I can tell people in Tampa do not have accents.

I live in West Virginia, which I consider south. I'm originally from upstate New York. I am told by some in my family that I have picked up some of the southern accent. They could be right. But people down here consider me a Yankee still.

I'm white, but love the blues. I once was told by a mexican in Pennsylvania that I was the whitest person he ever met. I don't know if he was talking about my complexion or my charactor.

Oompa, you play Freebird LOUD, then I'll play Sweet Home Alabama LOUDER!

Greensleeves

Ha Ha!

I used to love that song! After moving to West Virginia, I hate it. It's like a redneck theme song down here or something.

The first (and only) time I saw Lynrd Skynrd was memorable. People were waving rebel flags around. It was like waving a red cape at a mad bull (or cow as the case may be). Not good.

I hear ya, Free Bird, redneck anthem.
