I am from Tennessee and can also back this up. When I moved to Utah and began interviewing, people treated me like I was less educated than them. Now that my accent is gone, I get treated like everyone else here. :) I guess this happens to everyone though. I know people in the South (maybe everywhere else) has this weird perception of what people in Utah are like and would probably discriminate against them just as people here do. -- Grant .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
