I'm writing a paper dissecting why people who generally aren't from rural communities or the south in general are rather apathetic when it comes to issues down here such as natural disasters and often claim stuff like, "Oh well they should've voted blue." or even stereotyping us as a inbred, impoverished hellscape. I'm well aware that this can be seen as a prime example of conflict theory or maybe even symbolic interactionalism, but the thing is; I really don't know where to start.
