[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is "real America"? Honest question. Nearly 127M people live on the US East/West coasts, which makes it about 40% of the total population. Why do people insist on discounting 40% of the US population as not being the "real" America? [/quote]

Maybe because you twits call 60% of America "flyover country.". Do you folk even read the drivel on DCUM?  I won't send my kid to the South because of the racism...  Wisky is Naziland... etc etc...
You expect people to worship the shit your Ivy League kid steps in.
There are elite, good and mediocre colleges spread throughout the country.  Most people don't know much about any elite colleges.  DCUM posters seem to have quite limited knowledge of most colleges outside of the Ivy League and maybe NESCAC.[/quote]

OP here, I grew up in the South and I won't send my kids there for college for exactly that reason. I grew up there. I don't want my kids to have to go through the same thing. And no, not everyone who lives on the coasts goes to an Ivy. That's your prejudice and not reality. My whole point was that there's large swaths of a certain political party which seem to discount the idea that there can be multiple "real" American realities. It's a huge freaking country and with over 300M people, we are bound to have subcultures. So the idea that there is one "real America" is nonsensical babble and panders to a certain crowd. I always find it logically strange that one would discount the historical "real America" (the colonial America and our country's birthplace) as somehow not our current perception of "real America" because somehow the home of the Liberty Bell, the Boston tea party, and this country's foundation doesn't count anymore. That is just odd to me. But hey, bias got to bias. [/quote]

DP.  It’s so interesting (and telling) that you blame all of this bias on one “certain political party,” conveniently ignoring the OTHER political party which is heavily biased - at least on this site - against those “racist, redneck, frat boy” schools in the south and Midwest - I mean “flyover country.”   :roll:

What’s “odd,” is you blatantly calling out the political party you detest, with zero acknowledgement of your own political party’s constant bias.  Get over yourself.[/quote]
