Mr DS, its not just southies who hate northies. Even in mumbai I hear comments about how arrogant & insensitive northies are. I am a southie with fairskin (much fairer than an average northie). I lived in NCR region for some time and once when we were having luch at office, our receptionist said to others look at his face, he is glowing and he doesn't look like a southie. Though I didn't like the last sentence, I didn't take any offence to that. But what happened after that just shocked me. All others who were having luch with us just tried their best to prove that I don't deserve to be compared at par with northiessaying things like though he has fairskin, he is short andhe doesn't have face features of a northie and he is too soft in nature for a northie etc.
I also have seen people passing very crude comments about the skin complexion of some dark skinned tamilians. How could you expect southies to love northies when they exhibit this kind of behaviour?
Anyway don't generalise. Bad people are there in every community, race etc. Just like I have some good northie friends and I don't interact with a northie with a thought at the back of my mind that he could be racist.
