You truly enjoy being an asshole, and you are quite good at it. I live in Tennessee, have done so for the past 22 years. New York City and San Franciso are welcoming cities, been like that for centuries.
People from all over the world come to these cities because they know it is a city that welcomes everyone.
The only regional problem I have seen are in Texas, and the southern states, these people just dislike everyone who are not like them.
