One instance is as such: My normal accent is that found in the northeast Pennsylvania area, sharp and harsh though not quite New York or Jersey. I have enough voice control and experience that I can use a convincing southern accent. I've found that some people are much less friendly when I speak normally than when I fake the southern thing, sometimes the very same people.
People here are much, much more openly racist. I've never heard the word 'nigger' used so openly and so freely in public as I have here. Ironically, the few black people that I have come into contact with here are considerably more friendly than those in Richmond.
I've also noticed, especially on the job, that people here seem much more inclined to argue, insult, and act generally rude towards me. Considering my job, a certain level of that is expected, but the frequency has been much greater here.
