    The BBC's specialist arts and music channel is currently running an "American" season, and they've adopted the cutest highbrow ident.

    I hope they will have programs about American gun culture and exceptionalism.

    Both are very American.

    Hopefully they stay far away from the South.

    I would be surprised if this would happen in San Fransisco, only in the South.

    So many self-important northern coastal liberals denigrate our southern states as a matter of course, throwing millions of their fellow liberals in southern states under the bus.

    The US is almost comparable to the entire European continent in terms of how much diversity it has. While it's true there is less difference between different regions of the US than there used to be, and cultural homogeneity has been taking hold, there are still many different regions in the US.

    "The South" in the US is the most prominent and different among these regions, and even within the South there are variations. There are some parts of the South where you can go to and have some trouble understanding what people are saying because of the very accent. "The South" also encompasses a much bigger region than many people realize. It reaches all the way up to the southern third of Illinois and into West Virginia. Maryland used to be part of the South but has become more Northernized in recent decades. Even Oklahoma and St. Louis are sort of part of the South, on the periphery.
