Why do people make fun of people who are from West Virginia?
109502
They do it because they are ignorant boors who have nothing more intelligent to spend their time on than visiting their inadequacies on others.

They curse and talk about any religious or cultural or racial group. They make fun of Asians, blacks, jews, christians, mormons, japanese, africans, fat people, skinny people, nerdy people, and just about anyone. That is why they are so funny.

Actually, they talk how others in their environment talk. I spoke with a southern accent for 12 years and moved to nevada, my accent was gone in a year. When I came back to the south I thought everyone spoke funny. Now i've got my accent back. Give people a break. If the worst thing they do is talk ghetto, that's awesome. Things could be worse.

I hate it when small tidbits slide past me like that. All I know for sure is the Hillbillies hailed from the hills of Arkansas.  I only know that much because - - **drum roll please** - - I'm from Arkansas.  But I don't have a dog named Duke, don't wear those cool duds nor go huntin fer bubblin' crude. :-)

Yes, I know how you feel I'm from Michigan and I moved to Florida Last year I HATE IT people down here still think the war of north and south is still going on. It pisses me off when they call me a Yankee I mean get over the Yankee thing. All I see down here is pill popping and meth users every where in the town I live in. So Meany people down here are so uneducated I go to college and when I say that they look at me like they cant believe some that lives in town is doing something with their life and everything is backwards here. I mean i haven't meet anyone that is doing something with their life. Thank god I'm moving in two days and getting around maybe some normal people. So i know how you feel.

your right people take offense to those words but depends who you tell them to.I personally take offense when someone calls me "honey,baby,sweety" because it just bugs me.yet i call my bf gringo and redneck all the time and he laughs it off.i guess some people are more sensitive than others.and your right people have a right to defend their way of life and family but think it goes both ways.people against illegal immigration feel they are defending their way of life and family,while those who are in favor of illegal immigration also feel they are defending their way of life and family.though it always bugs me whenever both sides pull out the race card.I would think in this time and age when so many people are mixed that not many people would pull out that card or that it would loose any real push behind it,but guess I am wrong.white no longer should be associated with middle aged rich guys because there are people who are latino and european who are also white complected.both sides need to just put the race card in a little box and bury it somewhere and just deal with this issue without the name calling or childish bickering.

I say bigotry, Stupid people, fear, and unwillingness to change. I saw a guy on TV one time, can't remember who or what show it was, and he says the reason behind racism is, all those things i just said up there, and the fact that if a white person celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but racism to other cultures wether the white person is american, canadian, french or otherwise.If a black man celebrates his heritage, it is nothing but oppression  and hatred for the white man. Black people have BET and have comics telling jokes about white people all the time, and some white people think it's funny, some white people get pissed. What if white people had WET and had comedians telling jokes about black people, the NCAA would throw a fit! I think his point in saying that was Everyone is just as racist as everyone else, you can't just label a whole color/culture/heritage whatever. not all black people are racist, but i'm sure some are, same goes for whites, reds, browns, yellows, everything! And i'm sure since you're from south america, a region where there are no racists, you do get some prejudice. But what if I, a white dude, went to South America and tried to make it? You think i would just mingle right in? WRONG!!! You have to make the choice yourself not to be racist or hateful. My friend and i get along just fine, he is black, whoopidy doo, our families are different but we have been best friends since we were 12, now 22. So it's up to individuals to make the difference.

They're bored with their lives, are immature, and are trying to annoy you.\n\nWhy they are trying to annoy you could be based on race but also just on the thrill of teasing a nearby person.

I not think that way. I try NEVER to stereotype people because of what another do. Texas like a second home to me. Got a lot of family and friends there.

Because "White tongue" is basically standard English, whereas Ebonix is not standard.  It would be the same thing for me where I come from.  I'm a "hillbilly" and a lot of people here talk with a "hillbilly accent."  But if someone from the city came and talked like a hillbilly, we would assume he was trying to make fun of us!  I think that is a fairly reasonable conclusion.

I really don't know much about WV, but I've been there a couple times (to Huntington). If the rest of WV is like there, you're better off moving to VA. Don't get me wrong, the people are so nice, but there just aren't many jobs. I also have a cousin who lives in the mountains in Berkeley Springs and he works in MD.

They are stuck in the past and their parents continue the hatrid because it gets past from generation to generation.\n\nNext answer, there are companies making money off of people who are stuck with this attitude. If I could sell people flags, banners, stickers, etc. just to make money, without hurting anybody. I would. \n\nThere is a sucker born all the time and I'm not just referring to people from the South.\n\nI have been down South and met some of the friendliest people I have ever known. I would love to eventually move to a southern state.
