Um, I'm gona have to go with Alab on this one.

Sure there were a couple of redneck d'bags in my class who flaunted their stupidity and laughed at their own racist jokes, but the majority of us were polar opposites of them. I have had open-minded religous discussions with my friends when we were freshmen. I was in acting with many of my friends and we performed many skits and musicals and the like. We all strived for good grades (cool kids, alternative kids, nerdy kids...). We would attempt to slip those dreaded "big" words into our conversations and often tried our parts at foreign languages.

I'm from Alabama born and raised. I love thai food and sushi. I drive an ULEV. My carbon footprint periodically goes down whole sizes. I am actively involved in the renaissance of my local downtown. I mean, I could go on, but I don't really think that it's necessary.

In parting, I can't speak for the whole state (especially many rural areas and areas up north) but these have been/are my experiences in Mobile.
