So Eddy....you admit to never being in any part of the Southern US, but have no problem stereotyping the whole area as well as painting everyone in that area with a large brush??

Yeah...sounds about right.

Haha, not to mention his "multi-ethnic" girlfriend won't even go to Atlanta. That's like one of the largest, most diverse cities in the US. I saw quite a few "multi-racial" couples when I was down there.

Your right though, that did not make any sense. I basically have skipped the traditional southern states and have been everywhere else in the US of A.
Sounds like ignorance is just as alive in Calgary.

If Americans were exposed to Canadian news, tv, music and movies as much as Canadians are to American - I'm pretty sure they'd know where Calgary is.
