How did they form? What are their specific traits? Stereotypes (even untrue, if marked as such)?
If cultural differences coincide with geography, please mention in, too.

In the questions about weird things people from different continents do somebody pointed out, that Europeans have little knowledge of this, so please fix my ignorance.

Southeast: southern hospitality

Should be "southern hospitality" in quotation marks. Rudest bunch you'll ever meet unless you are exactly like them.

Nah we're never rude, they're all compliments.

Well bless your heart, I would never have the courage to wear something like that in public like you do.

I've found DC to be the rudest bunch of people I've ever met. Everywhere I've gone in DC the people are just totally rude assholes. Everywhere I've been in the south has just been nice, polite, helpful people.

I found it to be exactly the opposite. Everyone in DC is doing interesting things. There is a lot of passion and hard work as well. They mostly shy away from direct politics in a town that is incredibly political by its very nature. I've been helped on the street more by average people than I ever was around Atlanta, New Orleans, or the spaces between.

DC might be part of the South, depending on who you ask

Southern Hospitality, as long as you don't get to know them, and you're not black

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I’m literally talking about hospitality, as in the actions in the home, that others would call the hospitality industry.

I mean when you arrive they’ll offer you some tea and the furniture will look a certain way, and they’re likely to have a tray they carry those glasses on, and it’s already made, and there’s a whole set of food you traditionally entertain with, etc.

That whole set of behaviors is what I’m calling southern hospitality. Nothing beyond that.
