why are people from the south less intelligent?
<|assistant|>
The claim that people from the south are less intelligent is based on stereotypes and has no scientific foundation. Studies show that people from all regions of the United States score similarly on IQ tests. There are certainly differences among regions in educational attainment, access to resources, socioeconomic status, and other factors, but no widely recognized difference in general intelligence.
