Assumptions & Stereotypes


An assumption most people think of when they think of a southern family living in Alabama is it that we are uneducated. This however is not the case. Even though most of my family didn’t attend college, they all graduated from high school or worked to earn their GED. They are hardworking and dedicated to making their life better by receiving an education to improve their living situation. Another assumption is that most people who are from Alabama are rednecks because we live a very southern lifestyle and do very southern activities.  Rednecks are considered to be poor, uneducated white farmers living in the south. My family did work as farmers in Alabama, but were not considered uneducated or poor. They did work hard for the things they had, but never had to do without food or housing.
