I am not talking about slavery but how a large number of human beings throughout history to have the arrogance to label someone based off things they really can't control such as where they were born or their occupation in a society where you do the same type of job your father did

Until the industrial revolution you did the same job your father did or a variant of it for until the industrial revolution the majority of jobs were farming related. Even in the "industrialized countries" of Europe it was not until the mid 1800s where the magic halfway point where you switched from half the jobs to being farm related to less than half the jobs were farm related and now were industrial or service based. In the United States this magic number happed around 1890. This occured even though we consider the industrial revolution starting about 1760 or so.

Put another way, naming the word Villian when really Villian meant farm hand and at the time the transition occured the majority of people were working on the farms just sounds so wierd and hollow.

It is like calling people in the United States FLYOVER COUNTRY for if you do not live in LA or New York you are just some hick.

There is only about 50 million people in the North Eastern "megalopolis" (aka DC and the North East where it is so urban you can't really define things by city limits since the cities blend together.)

There is only about 40 million people in California

So flyover country is now everyone else, even if you add a few more states and such we are still talking 100 to 200 million people in a country of a little more than 300 million.

So yeah my problem is the arrogance of it all, and how people stereotype way too damn easy. And the stereotypes are of the silliest things that do not make any form of real sense when you look at them.

Question for you Random Thoughts, I know you live in Texas currently, but where were you born and raised?

Maybe I just do not get this for a good portion of my life I did live in a state whose two things it is known for is Farming and the Wizard of Oz, even though in reality economically it has little to do with farming (less than 6% of Kansas GDP is agriculture related, production of airplanes, cellphones equipment, gps, oil, natural gas, wind, are a better description of what makes Kansas economy tick that corn and cows).
