[quote=Anonymous]What does "feels Southern" even mean? Warm and gracious hospitality? Racism? Country style food? Conservative religion? Rural farmland and small towns? Backwards/outdated beliefs? Charming drawls? Obesity? Genteel manners and traditions? Rednecks? The south comes with lots of good traits and some to be ashamed of. So does the north, the west, and everywhere in between. Usually people tend to latch onto one or two characteristics, usually negative ones, and paint the south and southerners with one massive brushstroke. Virginia is a southern state. Where the south begins, something people have been debating my entire lifetime, all depends on what characteristics you subjectively assign as meaning "the south" and how you weight their existence in order of importance.[/quote]
