Regional Stereotypes (International Posters Please!)
I'm from Texas...a lot of people around here would not be opposed to Texas being a Republic (independent from the USA) rather than a state. This desire kinda causes us to have contempt for outsiders, and perhaps a bit of fear as well. It is appropriate to label anyone outside of Texas as a "Yank" or "Yankee." We generally view all people from other states in this light. The only exception might be folks from Louisiana, and more specifically those from New Orleans...some people would rather they go back to Louisiana rather than stay here as refugees. I have heard them called "Thugs" and "Crackheads" among other things.
And internationally, we see the French as Socialist Bastards...but that might be a consensus throughout America. Also the phrase, "Bomb Canada" is normally not considered absurd...although I don't know what the reason for this is.
