Another key point shows in the county-based presidential election map. Wherever you have urban concentrations (and universities) in the South and in most red states, you find blue enclaves. Those cities also tend to have the jobs and draw immigrants from other regions of the country for more diversity.

But let's face it, most people not from the South are more inclined to rest on stereotypes than to grapple with the details because their assumptions fulfill their preconceived biases.

I would say one big difference between north and south is that blue-collar people in New England usually put more value on higher education as something they missed out on, compared to their counterparts in the South. Just my experience.
