Don’t move to Atlanta and take our jobs and buy all our pretty real estate if you don’t want your kids to have a fucking Southern accent. Oh no, they say y’all! Bless your heart: you’re an asshole who thinks you’re better than everyone. And here’s the thing: us Atlantans don’t really have Southern accents but can feign one if need be, but we have all the lovely attributes of Southerners — win-win!!

“If my kids have a Southern accent, I will kill myself.”
NY Sun profiles the 40,000 New Yorkers who’ve moved to Atlanta. Things they bitch about include but are not limited to: Southern accents, lack of pizza, slow speech and movement, cars. Things they rightfully praise: affordable housing. This isn’t a joke. The houses in Atlanta are huge. They all have seven bedrooms, two wings, a basement, an attic, a pool, and a giant trampoline in the backyard.
This Texas girl doesn’t mind her own trace-of-a-Southern-accent, but DOES mind the discourtesy of some of her fellow New Yorkers!
There are lots of wonderful things about the South. It angers me when people think we’re just a bunch of shoeless, backwoods miscreants.
Oh, and you Northeasteners weren’t raised right! I’m still shocked when my friends don’t send hand-written thank you cards after receiving gifts from people! Social niceties, y’all!
