Is there really a southern prejudice in Hollywood?

I thought that this matter deserved its own chat. Go here for a write up concerning where actor Billy Bob Thorton stands on the subject. To me, maybe back in the day, things were harder, but if a southern prejudice is still present, I am not seeing it anymore with shows like Georgie and Mandy's First marriage being on TV as a continuation of the show named Young Sheldon which also takes place in a small Texas town just like Georgie and Mandy's show does.

God bless you and him always!!!

Of course there's a southern prejudice in Hollywood, just watch "Pulp Fiction."

I'm from the south and I don't even have a gimp.

Why don't some goobers in the South make a more realistic sitcom? Or go to Hollywood and pitch a better sitcom. I'm watching this show now and I actually like it. I just don't like Georgie's goober accent.

It got me thinking about where shows are supposedly taking place. Friends in NYC. Seinfeld in NYC. This show is in Texas.

Tim Allen, a conservative, did Home Improvement. Show was supposedly in Michigan.

Alice was based in AZ

Martin Lawrence played the role of Martin Payne, originally a disc jockey who lived with his girlfriend Gina Waters (Tisha Campbell) in the city of Detroit, Michigan. Martin worked for the fictional radio station WZUP; in later seasons, he became the host of the talk show Word on the Street.
