I'm a girl, I currently live in Illinois for personal reasons, but my whole childhood I lived in Southern Georgia with my two older brothers and pa. Our mama weren't around much at all. We didn't go to school. (I have since took classes to work on grammar and reading and such, but I still don't sound as educated as some.) My brothers and I stole what we couldn't hunt or grow. Our pa was in the moonshine business. We really didn't have no friends; our family didn't have the best reputation where we lived. We always got called "hick" and "white trash"....

And now that me and my brothers have moved from the South, the name calling has only got worse. If someone tells a "redneck" joke when me or my brothers are around, they getting beat to shit. Nobody likes us around here neither. When I jear any of theseterms it literaly makesmy skin crawl. IIN?

    Yes, it's normal to be offended when people insult you. But it's really not normal... or at least not right to beat somebody to shit. Especially because this just confirmes their stereotypes. If however you keep your calm and don't let ignorant people drag you down to their level you win.

    Ignore what people say, and focus on your schoolwork. The best revenge would be to show them all that you're actually a lot smarter than they peg you to be.

    Yeah it's normal, because you think they are targeting you, taking the piss out of your background, your accent, your relative poverty and lack of education. It's understandable to be annoyed.

    However, the best way to show them the stereotype is flawed is to succeed despite it. If somebody says something nasty to you about your background, either ignore it and be the better person, or challenge them in a very calm and thoughtful manner - question them. "I didn't choose my accent, I didn't choose my family. What right have you to make me feel less of a person because of conditions I had no control over?"

    Yeah people are often closed minded, I've experianced similar ignorance and i learned 2 things from it. #1 that adversary makes u stronger and #2 not with everyone, but the ability to laugh at urself and defect those types of stereotypical comment back at them in a more jibby, pplayful way can remove some of the malicousness iin the joke people make toward u

      I'm 1/2japanese and i hear all the racist Asian jokes and small penis jokes all my life. But by learning to take the insult and turning it into a over the top agreement make the bully loose a bit of power.

      Its almost like fighting, u take the joke the "punch" and u go with it to make them over extend and lose their balance
