People who live in the south like me really don't like it when they use the southern accent to make someone look stupid or conspiracy or subversive. It gets old. Some of us went to georgia tech and engineered the things that 'so much smarter' stanford university phds in womens' studies use every day.
Most “inbred redneck yokel” farmers can casually fix and build things that your educated collegian couldn’t dream of fixing on their best days.
My theory is that the university phds insult them either because they think they need to gaslight the people who grow their food into thinking they’re lower and need to keep serving them, because the farmers are surely as self-centered as the people making the accusations, or because they know they’re not actually as useful but can’t humble themselves and admit that they aren’t actually worth what they’re paid in the grand scheme of things, and need to convince themselves of it.
