In my experience, it’s an almost universal attribute of non-urbanites everywhere I’ve been.
Do other countries have this weird notion that you’re not a “real” representative of the nation if you live in an urban center? Like do the French say Parisians aren’t really French? Are you considered not a real German if you live in Berlin? Or is this mainly a weird American thing?
I mean, this is just various shades of racism and thus universal in all majority white and/or European settled nations, right?

Heidegger had a whole radio address about why he turned down a professorship in Berlin to stay in Freiburg, because the peasants in Black Forest pubs were the people who were real Germans. We know where this all leads.
