I'm glad those days are gone.
To answer the question, I think it's a combination of larger/smaller metro difference and a slight state rivalry within the Memphis Metropolitan Area. I stay in Southaven, MS occasionally for work and I've noticed people in that part of MS generally talk down on TN, but not really Memphis. Then when I work in Midtown Memphis, the TN folks talk down on the MS folks. Neither mention Arkansas, ya know, across the river from their downtown.
And to be fair, a lady I know who's from Jackson, MS talked down to a fellow co-worker from Meridian, MS as if she was trailer trash. As a northerner, I found it fascinating.
