re: #257 JordanRules

I experienced that kind of hate, though in a very small way, when I met a Southerner who, after I told her I was from New York, said, “Oh, so you’re a Yankee” with a tone of absolute scorn and derision. And she was not a oldtimer, but someone about my age at the time, 25. It was the first time I’d ever experienced that kind of hatred. As a white guy, I suppose I got off easy. I can only imagine her reaction if I’d been a black guy from New York.
