What are some negative stereotypes about southern people that you heard others mentioned?

Here are some I heard from other people, they're uneducated, dirt poor, wear overalls, always have a shotgun on their side have the language skills of a toddler, missing teeth, eat roadkill.

I have met people who could check all those boxes. Seriously.
A coworker. Big red headed guy.
And the nicest person I have ever met.

When I was younger I'd think southern Americans were ignorant and I had no intention of visiting the south when eventually travelling to the US out of self preservation lol but now that I'm older I look at people with nuance and actually think southern people are super friendly and have a charm to them.

@JimboSaturn yeah, I actually think the culture is more hospitable than other regions and the familial dynamics seem sweet. Well, based on what I know that is.
