If so, do people think that there are only white people in the south/Appalachia?

As a resident southerner to these boards, I would like to posit the idea that what may actually be racist is thinking that a southern accent is a "white" accent.

OP is claiming that AOC's accent was southern (it's not) and that it is racist for her to put that on for the predominately black audience she was speaking to. 

She was using a forced New York Puerto Rican accent. Think Rosie Perez but not as authentic.
