Unfortunately that's just not the case. Maybe your friends and colleagues are cool, but we hear it all the time. You're right that a lot of it comes from TV, where nearly every group is fair game to be made fun of.

A lot of the time, it comes in more subtle forms. The "Wow, you don't sound like those other Southerners with the thick accent, you actually sound intelligent" variety.
