You do a damn fine job of it yourself by trying to foist your Southern values on the North. We're predominantly Anglo-German; you people are mostly Scots-Irish. It's only natural that we ought to be more soberly-minded in our political proclivities.
If you're going to play the race card, you should at least realise that "Scots-Irish" doesn't actually mean "Scottish and Irish" but Ulster Protestant.
And, in practice, Northern England, Southern Scotland and parts of Wales as well, but that's a seperate, er, tangent. Surname patterns can be endlessly fascinating. The "lol the Irish are drunks" cliche doesn't work too well for those places either...
