    Americans residing in the East Coast usually make fun of Southerners, or those with Southern accents. Same thing in Germany, wherein pronunciation of certain words can reflect your economic background, and thus subject the speaker to condescension.
    I've been to the east coast. The northerners may get amused by the southern accent. But, they don't look down on the guy like he's trash the way many Tagalogs do on Bisaya folks.

    Count my mom as one. That's why we haven't been on speaking terms for years now. She always say I'm welcome to come home anytime. But, my "Bisaya" wife will have to stay outside. Very frustrating......
