Isn't this regional stereotyping of Southern Whites?
It seems that whenever there are accusations of a superior European American
mentality among the general Caucasian populace the finger always gets pointed
at Southern Whites. Isn't this a form of scape-goating and discrimination

In one of the Korean war books there are statements to the fact that in the beginning of Special ops most of the officers and enlisted men were from the South. Or this is the way that I interpret that part of the book. It also make me proud to know that us Southern Red necks were needed by Uncle Sam at some time. If this is scape goating and discrimination then count me in.
