Easy to understand...it’s because of all the northerners migrating to NC. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting some NY or NJ asshat who tells us how wonderful it was up north...not having the intelligence to understand how such a statement sounds or the manners to know not say such things in somebody else’s home.
That’s plain wrong. My friends have been in NC for generations - they employed tenant farmers all the way back to the beginning of the century. When they threw a party it was delightful to see some of the older invitees begin to jig to fiddle music and we shared some White Lightning which put my lights out. Their kids, on the other hand, spent the entire night getting drunk and riding around crashing a golf cart and smoking pot on the front porch. All native born North Carolinians. My friends are wonderful people even if their kids are kind of weird.
