It accents my Red neck ! </div></div>
That plus being white makes us as American as can be. Red, white, and blue. Sorry if you don't fit any or all of these categories. </div></div>
A., I didn't realize that being white made anybody more American than anyone else, and B., I'm whiter than Martin Mull eating a chicken salad sandwich, drinking a glass of milk, standing on a white-sand beach, dressed in a white silk suit and barefoot under the noon-day sun. But what of it? </div></div>
But do you have the Red Neck, and the Blue collar?? there in lies the answer you your Americanizm..
</div></div>
At least I can can form a sentence in standard English with correct syntax and spell. I spent ten years working in blue collar jobs before I got my degree, and I was born in a middle-of-nowhere, surrounded-by-cornfields 94% white county seat town with a population of less than 10,000, a median household income of $25,000, and a median home price of less than $75,000. Twern't much, but it's where I'm from, and where my ashes are going into the river one day. Nonetheless, as was said upthread, it isn't where you are, it's to where you're headed, so long as you don't forget your roots. Now go troll elsewhere.
