Yeah, here in Norfolk its like I feel that I need to escort college women to the Food Lion to get food. Granted certain self defense laws in VA are quite reasonable soo.

2018-10-17 03:54:22 UTC  

@Ald Because this is a country of settlers moreso than a country of immigrants

2018-10-17 03:54:30 UTC  

lols

2018-10-17 03:54:52 UTC  

I don't think so? Do not immigrant descendants now outnumber founding descendants?

2018-10-17 03:55:08 UTC  

In particular Germans outnumber English

2018-10-17 03:56:13 UTC  

@Ald I'd consider pre Civil War immigrants to be old stock. Germans were the most common ethnicity among the settlers of the Great Plains

2018-10-17 03:57:00 UTC  

Is there much of a meaningful distinction anymore? My great grandfather immigrated from the UK, but I have other ancestors that came on the Mayflower. There’s a lot of intermarriage among even white groups now. It’s not very weird to see someone who’s half Greek, half old stock Anglo.

2018-10-17 03:57:32 UTC  

@Ald Depends on where

The South is almost exclusively anglo celtic

We were told for ages that it wasn't that important, well now we have hard data that is kind of is

@Tyler0317 *ahem*

2018-10-17 03:58:08 UTC  

There's not much of a meaningful distinction now. Those who are virtually one thing (like I about 80% English old stock) are rare and even I have an immigrant great great grandparent
