Maybe I didn't explain it well.
What I meant was, if you had never been to New York in your life, and all you had heard about it was that it is full of crime, then went to upstate New York you'd get a different impression of the state than if you had gone to the city.
If you had only been to the sticks of any southern state you'd get a different impression than if you had been to a southern city.
Yes there are regional differences but there are rednecks/trailer trash in every state, ghettos in every state, and intelligent people in every state.
