Exactly, because it was overkill, exaggerated and just plain wrong. I'm guessing Tarantino hasn't spent much time in the south.

Being from the south, I found that quite gratuitous and it just played right into the stereotype of what people believe of southerners anyway. Well, we do have running water, we wear shoes, and we don't scratch our backs with forks. I would have thought Tarantino was above that.

Obviously you've never been to the Southside of Atlanta, sweetie. Travel to Clayton County, Georgia and mostly you'll see people who would make Sheronda come across like Vanessa Williams.
Clayton County is sort of Georgia's version of Compton. 15 minutes yet worlds away from Atlanta. -

Obviously, you don't understand what a stereotype is, darling. What's true in Clayton County, Georgia isn't true for every city, county, or state in the south. I stand by my original statement. It was gratuitous and stereotypical. I'm from deep south Georgia and while I know some characters, I know none like that. Atlanta is not Georgia and Georgia isn't Atlanta.

When confident, in control Jackie meets timid Sheronda in the food court and even encourages her to eat something, which she does, acting like she is starving, it was like a late 20th century black woman meeting one of her own ancestors from a century and a half before, still in slavery times.
