I'm sorry, I'm failing to see how making a generalization - which happens to be true - means I'm "contributing to the problem".
California is not "the South." Texas is.
I never said I wrote anyone off. In general I take people based on their own merits. That doesn't mean that the vast majority of voters or people encountered down here don't end up being backwards yokels or, in the case of this article, degenerate fucks.
Ask yourself why, if I say such nasty things, do I still live down here? My family is all up in safe, educated NOVA, and the man I was seeing before David lives in DC. I could have left. I stay here because even if the South can be generalized as a piece of shit, I still love where I live - one of the few brilliant bastions of education, the green movement, and rising culture. Like the article mentioned, the young people here are out for change. There's hope yet.
But thank you, GC and Threep, for giving me a so-much-needed lecture in generalizations and stereotypes. I never would have figured those things out without you. Please, let me never make a generalization again, even if it's overwhelmingly true and even if I understand that I still need to take things or people on an individual basis, just to make sure no one ever mistakes my comprehension skills.
