reminder that people with southern accents are not inherently stupid, uneducated, racist, or republican!

Kind of unfortunate you have to even say that

I’m starting to get a bit of an accent since I moved to Kentucky and work with people from the actual Deep South. Honestly it’s one of my favorite accents in the world, and it makes me sad that it’s perceived that way. Some of the smartest, most progressive people I know are kind of difficult to understand if you’re unfamiliar, because their southern accents are so thick

the kind of people who you have to say it to aren’t even worth the time it takes to tell them tbh. like if you can’t think for 2 seconds past the surface you’re beyond help

the amount of times i see people conflate racism with southern accents on social media is ridiculous. people can’t control their accents. they can control how they act and view others.
