A PSA: Dear non-Southerners and non-Hillbillies...

Ten pages in where nobody has informed the OP he is mistaking reverence of Floridamen with his dimeless boonies. He even posted a literal one as an "example."

@Caesare fascinating post. I'm half Acadian and always found French heritage in the US South interesting but can't say I have any deep understanding of it. The spicy stuff being Cajun/Acadian always made me skeptical bc traditional Acadian cuisine is nothing like that, though it does sound good.
Sorry for bringing up pop culture crap but what do you think about the new Interview with the Vampire TV series? They made the Creole vampire who was a green eyed, pale skinned white plantation owner in the book, mixed race black and a BROTHEL owner?? I just can't see Louis de Pointe du Lac owning a brothel. Yuck.

This is more how he should look...

I've read historical fiction where Creole used to mean pre-Acadian French immigrants but I've seen modern shows like Swamp People where they clearly mean it as mulatto.

Which is complete nonsense as it has nothing to do with that. Somebody that didn't know what they were talking about must've made that statement.

I've never watched it but I think it's silly any time they change a character like that for no good reason.

There are mixed race Creoles but they are very much the minority, but the term itself is cultural, meaning local born French but like I was saying in that earlier message, it grew in a way to mean local born from that area.
 
it's interesting because people seem to use Appalachia to mean WV/eastern KY/TN, as someone who lives near Pittsburgh, going to those places is quite a culture shock. Ver archivo adjunto 3680891
Orange is actual cultural Appalachia. Yellow is just the ARC which is very political, there's nothing remotely Appalachian about Mississippi.

You see this with both @Wormy and @Syaoran Li . Two people apparently descended from Appalachia stock who put all their effort into being the most clueless soypods imaginable.

I suspect it's the cliche "FUCK YOU MY REPUBLICAN DAD" thing.
Somewhat related to this,

The point of nationalism or any sort of cultural affinity/heritage, to me, isn't whether a place is particularly good or not (and I'd argue that most of Appalachia is just normal, people dramatically overstate the extent of crime and poverty and other dysfunction in it, understate the extent of that in Midwestern suburbia, and also make a bigger deal out of things than they warrant, people talk about poor places like Mississippi as if it was Africa when it's still one of the highest standards of living on Earth and you wouldn't even notice the difference), and they also tend to conflate political and economic aspects of a place with its culture (art, music, architecture, religion, clothing, etc).

The point of nationalism, or studying your culture, is that nations/cultures are essentially just modern tribes and a person has an obligation to be loyal to their tribe and to honor their ancestors, and part of that is developing an appreciation for the distinctive folkways of that culture. To the extent the culture has problems you can try to fix it but you don't just turn your back on it, you attempt to improve it. In some ways the Japanese went overboard, but I think they serve as a good example of that. I don't like that they suppressed things like traditional clothing during their Westernization, but in general Westernizing for them mainly meant implementing technologies and institutions that made them competitive while still nourishing their cultural heritage.

The sort of person who throws it all out because their culture is inferior in some specific regard to another is contemptible and often takes a very narrow view of what makes a place good. I wouldn't want to live anywhere outside of the South, because my quality of life is driven less by what official statistics say about it and more about the experiential quality of living there and the soul of the people there. For me I find that I am comfortable around Southerners and are genuinely much more polite, enjoy the appearance of the land and climate, and have disdain for the attitudes of people outside, like the totalitarian inclinations and general uptightness and lifelessness of Yankees. It is a place that has color and will in it, which is worth more to me than somewhat higher test scores or lower meth arrests or whatever.

not everyone from Appalachia has the same fucking political views. its better than the TRUE AND HONEST Appalachians that have adopted urban, coastal libertarian talking points and bring shame to their ancestors by shitting on unions
 
People who want a look at what real Appalachian America looks like should watch The Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. That is what it is more akin to than a farm, trad wife, and eight kids.

I will say one thing about it. I grew up in the Appalachians, lived all over the country, and still came back. I do love it here.
 
There is a lot to love, or at least get a taste for over time, just as always, my point was that we're not even close to immune from degeneracy and faggotry of all kinds.
Most of that is out of state faggots like the ones who made Asheville the Portland of the Appalachians. If Chattanooga isn't pozzed already, it will be very soon. I mean come on, the city even looks like Portland with how its hemmed in between mountains and rivers and too many fucking bridges, bet it'll be "Portland but with black people" before long. Some article said the freakazoids are moving in from Austin, and if they're coming from there they're probably moving from Portland and California too. Your fellow degenerates have some weird compulsion to seek out beauty and destroy it.

There are adjunct populations of Appalachian culture in the extreme NE of Mississippi, the Hill Country of North Mississippi, Tishamingo County for example. The local accent there is predominantly Appalachian influenced because of the nearby influence of Alabama coal country. like Walker County. Hillbilly speak is different from the coastal plain accent, sometimes called Plantation southern (Full disclourse, My accent is from the Old South).

No. Oh no, it's not. You can't pin this on outsiders. You actually think ASHEVILLE is bad?! Child, I could take you on a tour through the back roads around here that'd make Asheville look like a utopian fantasy.

Who are MY fellow degenerates, pedofag?

Yes, Asheville is a shithole city full of BLM signs, fag flags, and Ukrainian flags, because it's full of commies. It gives off the same evil vibes as Atlanta (the parts with the whites/rich blacks), Portland, and other far left cities I've had the misfortune of visiting in the last 4-5 years. Asheville's government wants reparations for blacks and worships troons. People from Austin praise Asheville.

You know who they are. Just visit Asheville and ask them about Austin, Portland, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, Denver, Salt Lake City, and all the other places they've shat up over the years. Most of them have lived in one or more of those places.

No I don't. Who are they?

Why the fuck would I go to Asheville? What the hell roots do I have in common with those city slickers?

Also, being called a degenerate by a anime avatar fucker doesn't mean a whole lot to me, for the record.
