Do you all realize being opened minded to different races, cultures and sexual orientation but then look down on “flatlanders”, still makes you prejudice?
You are just a different kind of bigot.
Let’s be better.
No.
I call it placeism
Don't worry bud, I see you moved up here in the last couple years, you'll get it soon enough.
People can’t choose their race, culture, or sexual orientation, so we have no judgment there.
But they do choose to come here and be obnoxious. Ill hate them for that.
Edit: Spelling
Op - give yer balls a tug
Vermonter natives are not all hillbilly white trash. I'm a native Vermonter and not entirely white myself. A lot of us pushed back against jack asses with take back Vermont signs during the civil unions thing, and a lot of us are in interracial relationships.
Our geneity diversity gives us strength, our values give us purpose, our contempt for flatlanders is unwaivering.
I just want you to think for a moment that you have a home and your new neighbor comes to your house and tells you everything about your life is cheap and dumb. Then they tell you to paint your house a new color cause it doesn't match their blinds. That's pretty much flatlanders in a nut shelll.
Let that one marinate while you give yer balls a tug.
Righteous.
Call it what you wish.
Give yer balls a tug
Takes about 5-10 years for the flatlander shine to gas out and the glossy finish to become matte with struggle. Only then will they learn how Vermont is a cruel mistress and a ball busting hell hole.
Ableism? My grandfather was the first disabled barber in Vermont and even served on the barber board. You might think of this as small potatoes, but where the navy and others wouldn't accept him - Vermont did.

He’s not an asshole tho
It's hereditary. I'm a clone of him.
Right there with ya lol
OP wipes with 4-ply.
Give yourself 5-10 leaf peeper seasons, you’ll come back to this post and laugh at your own virtue signaling.
Now if you actually want to make an impact, I’d focus on a social justice cause that actually matters…
As a flatlander, calling someone a flatlander to rib them is hilarious. Getting called a "fucking flatlander" when I do some stupid shit will never stop being funny for me. Keep doing that, anyone who gets poopy face over that needs to stop taking themselves so seriously.
Calling someone a flatlander because you honestly think it's an insult makes you look like you eat crayons. I think I've only ever heard it happen like once or twice (I've lived here for about 10 years), but whenever it happens it's so apparent that the person saying "flatlander" is just an absolute neanderthal and is trying to shut down the conversation because their two brain cells found each other and short circuited.
show me where the flatlander touched you
Give yer balls a tug bud.

You all are just stereotyping and being bigoted. No different than racism.
Stop being bigoted toward vermonters you racist
You are a next level moron with that response.
People say it left and right here. It’s a derogatory term to keep People out of vermont. It’s ignorant.
You're just stereotyping and being bigoted
No I’m responding to a term being used put down a whole group of people. That’s what bigotry is. Looks like you need a dictionary or maybe a brain. Now that was me just being mean…but seriously stfu
its a matter of elevation. Technically we will always look "down" on flatlanders
You're just stereotyping and being bigoted
It really isn’t.
obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction; in particular, prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
This is literally the definition of bigotry for calling someone a flatlander…get educated.
You're just stereotyping and being bigoted
Pitter patter
Just calling out their hypocrisy. If you feel this is directed at you (which you do) maybe you should look inward. Do you say the N word? Do you call whitr people cracker? Do better bearded douche.
Give it time. survive an ice storm or two. experience the winter struggle!
Let's get at her!
I’ve lived here for years

Ok troll, 99% of people here couldn't care less about a person's race, culture, sexual orientation or whatever. What draws the flatlander response is when anyone comes here with the all too common sense of entitlement and arrogance that we see every day. The moniker is in reaction to behavior, nothing else. Just be happy that we remain polite enough to just refer to them as flatlanders and not do something else
