        It's hilarious how rabidly racist anti-semitic the WASP is while screeching about how much he loves American culture.

        Us Jews are the reason blue jeans are as popular as they are. Hell, we want our brisket back while we're at it. Wait until they found out how much black people contributed to just about everything else (but we'll give the "Irish" Americans a break here, as they have made legit contributions to American music too).

    I live innawoods, my car is splattered with mud from getting it out of my driveway when it rained. Many of my friends growing up were deeply impoverished (rusty-ass trampolines, sun-bleached toys strewn over the yard, "ignore Uncle Jim, he won't talk, he's playin his online poker", wife-beating happening in the other room stuff) and I had to go to all their horrible evangelical grifter churches when I slept over on Saturdays.

    My point is that I'm just as if not more "southern" than the dorks like this guy and I'm a communist or some shit LMAO OWNED

    The only worthwhile culture from the south was created by either by non-whites, or very poor whites who were sharing notes with black or Latino people. Stuff like blues music and rock and roll are southern, but they're from black southern culture. Southern hip-hop is fun too. Niche genres like horrorcore and arguably vaporwave can be traced to it.

    The south used to pump out some pretty ok white writers though. Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner, even Tennessee Williams. I doubt any of them would want to be represented with a confederate flag though.

    Y'all will notice that southern white culture took a dive once there were fewer whites who grew up poor or working class and continued identifying that way into adulthood.

            I think it’s a fair assessment to say the roots of a huge proportion of “southern” culture, art, and music are directly derived from the people who were an enforced second class (or property) in the region. Hell, white “southern” culture now in no small part still defines itself by its hatred of the groups whose contributions are the foundations of their cultural identity today. It’s not pulling the one drop rule when these fucks still use their “culture” to justify hate of the people who built the foundations they stand on

        Bluegrass is like rock and roll. It started as a black thing. The banjo itself was invented by enslaved creole people and western Africans in the 1600s. It is cool music though.

        cajun people for a long time were in that grey area of being almost white people but not quite, kind of like Italians and Irish were. In fact one of my friends from high school had his grandparents arrested in the 1950s under segregation laws because the wife was cajun and the husband was italian.

        One of my ancestors was a cajun and was also arrested and thrown out of new orleans for violating some kind of segregation ordinance regarding gambling or something.

        I guess cajun people are fully considered white now, but that wasn't the case for a while, like a bunch of them got sold into slavery when England took over French Canada

          Yes and no. The ye in "ye olde shoppe" was "the" with the "thorn" character which looks kinda like a y if you write it fancy. The ye in "Hear ye, hear ye" was actually said as ye and was the second person plural.

    Who's "they?" The vast swath of the eastern seaboard defined by western european immigrants like the Italians and Irish, the "fugeddaboudit" and "BAHSTAHN" guys that everyone thinks of when they think of New England cities? The west coast people known for wine exports, distinctive music and film cultures, drug culture, etc?

    Southern culture is now largely defined by hollow rhetoric and hypocrisy. They want to be rednecks with big trucks but they whine about how much they have to tip the food slave who brings their DoorDash order. They talk constantly about Christian values and then indulge in hedonistic lives and go out drinking alcohol to excess and fornicating (which the Bible explicitly says will bar you from entering Heaven volcel-judge )

      There is a southern culture, but it doesn't come from white people.

      Quite literally, Christianity to them means that they ARE "The God". Your best case scenario is that you are deemed "the help" by these inbreds and allowed to live so you can serve them. I hated them even when I was a libertarian because I saw them as the ultimate "welfare queens", they want to takes from hardworking minorities, Jews, women, and LGBT people and essentially be taken care of by them while they ungratefully hurl insults at their so-called "inferiors". They need us, but we don't need them.

      Good shows will have a lot of head and body shapes, but most of them don't and it's just the hair. IMO the reason so many of them have horns and tails and stuff is to make their silhouette more recognizable without potentially compromising the standard "pretty face" that most otaku demand.

        What I said and what you said can be true at the same time, the same way that procedurally generated terrain can be technically unique in some specific part of it but still be bland.

        Or NFTs. "Unique" doesn't automatically mean good, creative, or interesting if it's just a randomizer of cliches.

          As long as they are unique you will de able to tell them apart if you see enough of them. This also aplies to procedually generated terrain.

          I never said they werent bland i agree with you there. I think blandness is kind of the point. I see so much media trending in that direction. Its probably easier to market.

            I don't know what point you're trying to make here. Something can be technically unique and still uninspired, bland, and repetitive because even its "unique" arrangement is just a sum of repetitive component parts, like all those "bored apes" NFTs.

            I think blandness is kind of the point. I see so much media trending in that direction. Its probably easier to market.

              The point is that its easy to distinguish things once you are aquinted to it. So the weebs are not wierd in that particular sesnse. They are wierd for other reasons. I agree its bland but that does not necesarily make them hard to distinguish.

              Id go further on the second point. More hogs are going tl eat a bland thing than a thing with character since the latter may be too much effort. Or it may appeal to very specific tastes.

                I'm still not seeing where this invalidates anything I said about how lazy and bland and uncreative it is to swap waifu cliches with hair colors/styles. "Technically" unique waifus don't really have any more creativity to them than a technically unique combination that results in a Bored Ape NFT.

                      I dont kbow about mincraft but the age of empires random map generator sometimes repeats maps. And if someone has played there before they can usually tell and take advantage. There are also less anime characters than random maps or mixbecraft terrain.

    NASCAR

    NASCAR, and stock car racing as a whole, traces its roots back to moonshine runners during prohibition, who grew to compete against each other in a show of pride. This happened notably in North Carolina. In 1935, Bill France Sr. established races in Daytona Beach, with the hope that people would come to watch races, and that racers would race for him, as other organizers tended to fleece the winners of their payouts.
