Re: Who lives in the Deep south USA such as Georgia, Alabama or Mississippi??
My lily white ass in Quetta?
Thats funny.
But your comments are right on. Somehow people expect perfection from the US. Blissful harmony 24/7. Ya sure. People are people the world over. There are good and bad, there are ignorant and accepting. To imagine the poorest areas of America, the least educated, the least worldly are somehow immune from prejudice is just foolish.
What I will promise you, anywhere in the South, is that if you make a genuine effort to meet people halfway, accept them, they will embrace you. That probably holds true for Peshawar and Quetta too, unless Semis' butt has tainted the whole thing for all of us....
And, the Low Country from Charleston to Savannah is a beautiful drive. Stop along the way and meet some people, your preconceptions might be changed.
