"Is it ok for me to wear a speedo?"

[sebbie]

Please do not label all people who live in a particular region of the country based on stereotypes that are frequently flawed and inaccurate, or I will have to respond by outlining my own sterotypes of what I find upsetting about Californians! Seriously, I get very upset when people assume that everyone who lives in a particular state or region conform to some particularly undesirable value system when that is a long way from the truth. To somehow characterize people in any way based on geographically where they live is just all wrong. What is funny about all of this is that the people who do this often claim to be very non-racist, but are playing their own little variation of the racist game to belittle people not quite like them.
