Why do some Northerners come to the South and say that they hated it and say hateful things, but don't leave?

Question

Case in point: I was in a store and the customer was mad at the nail tech because she couldn't give her crisp money. Then had the nerve to say it was because the further she was down South the more problems she had. She was from Brooklyn  and the nail tech was from Arizona by way of China? Let's do a little history to the civil war: the plantation owners that could leave and did leave the South went where? Hmmm..

Good question.....I'm also a transplant from Yankee-land, and moved to the Southeast quite a few years ago.  As far as I'm concerned, the "pluses" about being here FAR outweigh any negatives.  You couldn't drag me up north again with a tractor.  I've found that no matter where you are, if you accept the way of life wherever you move to, you'll be accepted.  If you complain about it and act resentful, that's how you'll be treated as well.  Me, I'm as happy as a boll weevil in tall cotton. :-)

I'm from the South and I hate the bible belt. I live in a small town with corrupt politics. I understand about living in the South.
