This is a wrong perception .
Tamils are not hostile to North indians .
There is along history behind it . The srilankan war , the language conflict etc .
North Indians Discriminated Tamilians on the basis of colour .Tamilians and north Indians have this language clash there .
Tamilians are called by names as Madrasi etc which is very wrong .
That is why they are outraged .
I am sorry i cant write the whole history behind it .but there is always reason for everything .
I am not a Tamilian , nor a north Indian.
I am a Pakistani ,and i am not siding with anyone , but general study will tell you why it is .
I always used to consider Indians as only North Indians until i explored the diversity in India .

They aren't hostile. They just have a rivalry for best film studios. And they also feel that education and general well being is a bit higher than it is in North India. Both think they are better than the other. That and many tamils don't want to learn or speak Hindi. I found more who speak English than that.
I'm just a whitey who visited there I'm neither north or south indian.

It is very very wrong notion. There are all kind of people around. If you see something with biased mind you will see everything wrong. It is not that everyone is like that. I do not disagree that there is all kind of people but that is not restricted to Tamil or some specific area, religion but they are spread everywhere.
You may be thinking how I can say with so much confidence. Fine I am north Indian and have so many friends from all the states including Tamilnadu and I never felt that it is general notion.

It is not like that. Most of them don't know Hindi. In schools and colleges Hindi is an optional subject. Students should opt for Hindi or Tamil. But for other south Indian states like Kerala, Andhra pradesh, Karnataka, Hindi is a compulsory subject with their regional language.
But in Tamil nadu students can take either Hindi or Tamil as their second language. So obviously they will take their mother tongue language. But some do take Hindi as their second language but it is difficult when they don't know to read or write Tamil because they are living in Tamil nadu.
It is not like they don't want to learn or speak Hindi. They should learn Hindi privately if they want. In other south Indian states, no need to study Hindi privately. It is easy because they learn in their schools itself. Tamilians don't watch Hindi movies because they can't understand. I think that's why you feel like Tamils are hostile to north India.
