Yes, your American. Travel across the states and you will see there is a lot more than a north and a south. There is west coast life, east coast life, Midwest life, each state really has it s own characteristics.And there is no such thing as a pure blooded American. We all came from immigrant families at some point in our genealogy. I m Polish technically.
You are an American with a cultural back ground just like everybody else... don t obsess over labels... they re stupid... just be proud of who you are... and btw.. saying you think people in the north think you re all hicks is a generalization all on it s own ;)... I am from the west coast and I did use to think a lot of the south was full of nothing but hicks... but my bf was raised in Tennessee and doesn t have an accent... he does act a little southern but it s all good lol
Now I know for sure I m not going to the States.Must be true what they say about Hillbilly s too.Howdy from DOWNUNDER
Be who you are, yourself.
