Southern Representation Super Club

By: Scott Horvath

I picked the image seen above. It is titled "Super Club" and depicts three men eating at a table.

This picture is full of southern stereotypes. Possibly the most obvious stereotype is the three men that are sitting at the table. All three are drawn to look unintelligent and uncivilized. The man on the left is holding what appears to be either a shotgun or a sniper rifle of some sort. Either way, holding a gun at the dinner table takes a stereotype of the south to the extreme. The man on the far right is wearing a plaid shirt along with a construction uniform. He is depicted as an oblivious member of society who works in a lower end job that requires little to no education. (i.e. construction of some kind) The man in the middle is dressed up as a priest and is a representation of southern religion. His black gown and necklace give off the aura that he is from the church which is another southern stereotype.

Along with the men, the table and back wall are covered in objects that are representations of the south. To name a few, the table is covered in a pocket knife, fried food, pie, a bottle of whiskey and even a bottle of coke. All of these are generally stereotypes of the south. The back wall contains two key images, the American flag and antlers. In my opinion, a confederate flag would have fit even better in this picture the but the American flag is a representation of the stereotype that all southerners are extremely patriotic. This pride is one of the more common southern stereotypes. The antlers on the back wall are the final image of the south that I picked up on in this image. Again, they embody the stereotype that all southern men are hunting rednecks who hang antlers all along their walls.
