Are you saying the South is not the most conservative place in the US?
Are you saying the south never had a problem with slavery?
Are you saying the South never had a problem with civil rights?
Are you saying that the poorest states are not in the south?
Are you saying the least educated states are not in the South?
Are you saying the south is not the most racist place in the US?
The cliches and stereotyps associated with white southeners have their origin in reality and even if you never engaged in behavior associated with such stereotyps, others did. There is a reason for that southers stereotype to exist, and it is not some weirdish conspiracy by the rest of your country to make the south look bad. No, it is the south itself.
It is to you! To work on your own image! And not to the rest to pretend as if the problems in your states didn`t exist. And it is certainly not to you to forbid others to make fun of these problems.
At least black people seem to undertand that:

That's one big stereotype based in reality that you and your country will never escape!
