For example, people with southern US accents are depicted as stupid in TV and some people even treat people with these accents as stupid or backwards. What examples of this do you guys have?

All of Puerto Ricans apparently don’t say our Rs
Norteño accents are synonymous with being hicks, but the Sinaloan accent in particular is the narco accent. The chilango accent is associated with petty criminals. The yucateco accent is associated with silly, goofy characters.
The stereotypical campesino accent in DR is either the thick cibaeño or the sureño

Not really as common anymore given the fact that spanish has a neutral TV accent like the english transatlantic accent.
I have my own biases of course. Like a chilean accent makes me think of a little brown kid.
Literally everywhere since the founding of Ur: Countryside accents makes you think of rural people without urban experiences and manners
The Caipira accent is very similar to the stereotypical southern US accent in the United States. It’s the "countryside" accent.
The accent of Rio de Janeiro is considered a "neutral" accent (since the largest audiovisual studios in the country are located in the city). Obviously this is not true, because there is no "neutral" accent, but it is the accent with the most representation on broadcast TV and therefore the other accents in the country are less represented, especially those of the northeast region, which contains many states but people usually tend to think that all accents from that region are the same. The people with the accents from the northeast region of Brazil are also treated as stupid or backwards in TV.
Think about it like when you have difficulty understanding Scottish people because of their accent and dialect, well the stereotype of the southern states of the country is the same because they have a lot of European influence, so understanding their slang is more difficult for people who live in other regions of the country.
The thickest version of the "country" Central American accent doesn’t pronounce the S. They replace it with a J/H sound. Very evident in the Eastern part of Honduras and El Salvador and western part of Nicaragua. Then there’s the gasp when they’re shocked or stressing something important.
My wife is from Venezuela and there is a huge difference between accents from Maracaibo and Caracas.
I would same the biggest accent stereotypes are between social classes. Many things like switching the l and r ( landasismo, rotacismo), use "si nos fueramos ido" instead "hubieramos ido", etc. Are treated as signs of poor education and (unfairly) intellect.
