But hating southerners, Christians and Americans is still fashionable.

How can you be so out of touch?

I'll bet you still wear domestically produced blue jeans and drive an American car.

Silly hillbilly.

Whilst I applaud the deriding of stereotypes - those very stereotypes are there for a reason.

exactly.

Don't use stereotypes just to win an argument.
But stereotypes exist for a reason - and anyone fitting one of them should be called on it immediately.

To say "don't ever use stereotypes" is to be a apologetic coward. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck....you know the rest.

It's just something that I've kind of taken as a personal quest... to explore that grey area between honoring individualism and railing against the courteous tyranny that is otherwise known as political correctness

Worthy goal...
I'm guilty of both; (stereotyping and being too PC) but by far, the PC outweighs the tendency to stereotype... They both have the drawbacks and are important to note in self and in others when they crop up as both ideas can be a barrier to communication and understanding...

Yeah right.

Let's see you move to East St Louis. It's worse than Compton CA. Or move to Compton as a sort of "basic training" and then step up to the big leagues into E St Louis.

Put your money where your mouth is.
