FWIW, I read this as equating a particular regional accent with stupidity.

I imagine it wasn't intentional, but it's something to consider.

It's a South Park reference. It very much is equating the accent with stupidity and backwardness.

In their defense, they make fun of nearly everyone. But they definitely were mocking White Southerners there.

In the episode, it's not what I'd call a southern accent.
Nice of you to share a little about yourself. Pleased to meet you.

What do you think makes you feel unsure if you were intentional or not?
