edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting
feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

As another person who works in a hospital of one of the poorest and most conservative states in the union....I don't think you really know what you are talking about.
First of all, there is no such thing as a basic definition of what makes up good people and bad people. You can be good to your family and your neighbors and be incredibly racist, bigoted, or just unempathetic towards anyone else outside your daily life.
What I notice about the South the most is the inability to be compassionate to anyone who isn't right in front of them.
Historical realities can negatively shape culture...... What about the Souths history leads you to believe that most of southerners are "good people" and how exactly do you quantify good?
No offense, but do you live in the South? And if so....are you a person of color or another minority, because if not you may not be getting the full experience.
~~Strawman, reread the entire post bud.~~ Looks like they just misunderstood.
~~“The south is full of good people” (verbatim quote from my post, objectively true, yes from my own experience and yes minorities) DOES NOT mean “most of southerners are good people” (verbatim YOUR bad-faith interpretation of my post).~~
~~Feel free to try again but as a principle I don’t defend positions I never said in my life.~~
I think that's a pedantic dispute considering you've made rebuttals against people claiming that good people were out numbered. Plus, what does "full of" even mean when it comes to judging the general morality of southern people? I think the generalization of the south being full of good people reads quite a bit differently than there are some good people in the South.
Generalities cannot be objectively true..... Implying that something is full of good people implies a majority, as in a glass fullof milk, is not also full of water.
ah. feel free to swap in “lots of” instead of “full of” then.
sounds like a regional misunderstanding which you unintentionally misconstrued.
people are not liquids in containers. something like “the government is full of corruption” doesn’t mean “more than fifty percent of government workers are corrupt” it just means “lots of corrupt people in government, can’t ignore that” and i would be more than willing to swap the verbage
glad to clear this up as i genuinely didn’t expect that that would be misunderstood
Maybe it's a regional thing....but I don't think I'm the only one who interpreted it that way.
But yeah, there are plenty of decent people in the South, I wouldn't argue against that. I would argue it's a smaller minority than in some of the other places I've lived though.
i recognize that! good to know for the future and i also put an edit to the OP to clarify
