| Quote: | Also Sum1, that's not completely true. Certain areas of the US have strong identities from before the US was developed. Look at New Orleans and Louisiana and the large Creole/French culture that is still there from when the French were in that area, the same can be said for Southern California and the strong Hispanic presence or the Northern states, like North Dakota especially that have a strong Canadian influence. In parts of New Orleans, French is still spoken, and in Southern California Spanish has been spoken for quite some time, not just due to recent immigration. Just a heads up. | You can add Hawaii in there as well. There still is a sovereign movement here to a degree and people born and raised here identify with Hawaiian culture and ideas even if they don't have Hawaiian blood. Most are Americans first but the Hawaiian culture is important. __________________ "Finally, A guy who says what people who aren't thinking are thinking" - Jon Stewart on CNN & ABC host Glenn Beck |
