Hopefully the point I was making was apparent that no education level, working class, economic status, or any other classification I'm omitting has a monopoly on deriding others not like them.

There's no need to focus on the example I used. To reply, though, this is something I've encountered in Southern Georgia and I'll say that a) it may have to do with my physical appearance and b) it really isn't bothersome or overly mean spirited. I don't get too hung up on anything like that.
