What is deep south side?
The area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin located south of Oklahoma Avenue on the city's south side. It is called the "Deep South" because it is predominantly white and has a reputation for being racist and intolerant towards the LGBT community. Many residents (in other parts of city) consider it a suburb that happens to be within in the city limits and describe it as being 20 years behind the rest of Milwaukee. In spite of being a relatively small area, it is often (incorrectly) thought of as being "typical" of the entire city, and thus, is most likely the reason Milwaukee gets stereotyped as a stodgy, backwards town.
"You been to the Deep South Side?"
"Yea, no wonder people think such f***ed up things about Milwaukee. That place is just like being upstate, only with a lot more people... it should be bulldozed into the lake."
