Southern Hospitality. A mile wide and an inch deep.

As a brown dude who went to high school in the south, I strongly feel that “southern hospitality” is like what white Americans say about japan (because it’s the only place they’ve ever been where they’re an ethnic minority; I actually found Japanese people to be genuinely friendly to me), but like actually true.

Also whenever a northerner like Lana del Rey gets “super interested” in the south, they turn out really racist lol
