i also feel like this aspect of the map would have changed over time. would my grandparents call their ethnicity american? i kind of doubt it, but can't be sure. i don't fw them enough to ask

[mel @mlemth]

it surprises me that white americans (like me) whose ethnic ties to europe are so distant or scattered so as not to be recallable are a southern thing. at least that's what i assume other people who consider their ethnicity "american" mean by that

[AES–Hinojosa Democrat @Wellstonecratt]

Since it's trending again, a "What is the South" map based on four metrics by anon

[mel @mlemth]

but i guess my question is why is this phenomenon concentrated so much in the south? and not also, say, in the western half of the country? i would have expected more homogeneity

is it a racist thing possibly?

The brand has released the KEI-01, a 660-cc mini truck that will be built and sold in the US.

Yes, you read all of that correctly.
