You ever notice?

On TV - cop shows, commercials, etc., are more likely to have a character with a British/Aussie accent than one with a Southern accent?

It's almost like there's stereotyping going on.


And, if you REALLY want to see some stereotyping, watch the Cold Case episode "The Red and the Blue", where the crew travels to Tennessee on a case. Lots of  references to boots and belt buckles to start off, then the stereotypes come flying in:

The Nashville Police Chief is called "Big Daddy", and, at one point, a girl says to her boyfriend "I know I can't offer what a city girl has to offer" (I almost spit my been on that one) 

Lots more, but you get the picture.

I never really liked that show in the first place, too "look how bad we were then, and how enlightened we are now", but that was the episode that pushed me over the edge.
