Slang is part of our expressions, but don;t confuse that with idioms

Southern folks get criticized for it all the time. You only have to look slightly harder to find a stereotypical "southern boy" than you do to find a stereotypical hood rat. And once more, it's not even considered politically incorrect to make fun of southerners.
Anyone who is different from the norm is going to get criticized. Most people are not enlightened or educated enough to realize that its not how a person talks that matters, but what they are saying that matters.

Don't we all? Even the 'stiff upper lipped' English do it all the time.
Cant say that only blacks get blamed for it though.
Imagine going back just 150 years ago, to whatever country it would be very difficult to carry out a conversation don't you think?
