@hosford42 @xs4me2 @theicarian That's the bit that gets me - go back to the 1500's and they didn't even exist. We have pubs and houses that are older than that in the UK. Their whole country is made up of immigrants that forced the 'locals' out.

@ianm549 @xs4me2 @theicarian There is no consciousness of that fact here in the US south. I don't think they like to think about such things. Confirmation bias + narcissism.
