[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad to see posters here who are dispelling the stereotype of WV being cruel to blacks and other minorities. 
Unfortunately, this is a stereotype being advanced by those with an agenda and those that want to marginalize the wonderful people of WV.  
Everyone I have ever met from WV has been polite and kind.  And, very concerned about their neighbors and friends.  
And, I love the poster who pointed out that their priorities are not about money. 
Some DCUM posters should take note. 
There are more important things in life.  [/quote]

So, as an interracial couple/family, we wouldn't get rude stares/comments there?[/quote]

No.  But I will say this -- and I'm not accusing you personally of this -- oftentimes WV'ians (which includes me) expect better manners than the usual DC/Bethesda/Arlington type.  There's a general "I'm too busy and important to be polite/friendly/respectful" vibe that comes with DC types often.  To the extent that people may get some hard looks in WV, it may well be because they're using their DC manners.  I very much doubt it would be because of race.  I find that when I go back home and I'm still in "hurry and don't make eye contact" mode, it takes me a couple hours to readjust to being patient and friendly.  And suddenly everyone's nicer to me.[/quote]
