Much of Appalachia is the same. If you don’t talk like a redneck, you get picked on. The smart kids with social savvy will learn to code switch.

So we’re still looking to survive bullies rather than holding them responsible for bad behaviour I see.

Nah, fuck off with your strawman. I was just describing the reality, not suggesting that it is any kind of solution.

No you are not offering a solution, you’re just doubling down on making more problems.
