Where have all the minorities gone?

Actually, yes I am, my friend.
..you're right, that's what it's all about, finding a solution to the problem at hand.

I wonder that too... :eek:
It's probably snow :p
I can't think of anything else that could make a colombian do what us swedes can't ;)
We do not get snow in Colombia ma'am; and I'm sure you aren't making an uneducated stereotypical implicit comment on any other particular substance that may resemble it :mad:

Good day! :mad:

What? Me? Making an uneducated stereotypical implicit comment? Would I ever? :eek: I would not be so presumptious as to pretend to have any knowledge of what substances you may or may not have and use in that particular part of the world, and neither do I care as long as you mow my lawn, keep the flower beds nice and tidy, trim the hedges, clean my swimming pool and steal my silver spoons every now and then.

I'm a minority here because I'm a girl from Texas that listens to metal. However I don't fit all the Texas stereotypes, just a few ;)

I have eaten: Squirrel, deer, alligator, crawfish (we call them crawdads), wild boar, and grits. But I haven't had possum pie yet! We pronounce pecan as "pee-con" NOT "pee-can" (stress is on the bold syllable). Deep fried turkey is a Texas Thanksgiving Day delight! :p Chili is taken very seriously here, as are all things beef.

I have lived in a trailer before (that's a house on wheels). They are scary in storms because of the threat of tornadoes. You are actually told to leave your trailer and GO OUTSIDE in a tornado because it's SAFER outside!!! :guh:

I have seen guests come in tube tops to a wedding.

I say "ya'll" and "I'm fixin' to" a lot, and I speak with a southern drawl.

I nearly hit a coyote the other day when I swerved to miss an Armadillo in the road.

A cattle guard is not a person or animal.

George W. Bush is actually liked around here (imagine that :lol: ).

The sheriff and his deputes really do wear big cowboy hats just like they show on TV.
Alright! Another Texan and a GIRL! Woo!

Anyhow, I've only been here for about 5 months (holy shit it's been THAT long?)

I do not nor ever will speak with a southern drawl. I slap myself when I accidentally say "y'all".

I will never eat squirrel, crawfish or alligator. I've eaten deer, but that was back up in IL and I didn't realize it.

From my experience here so far, a lot of people don't like George Bush. :)

I'm a minority in so many other ways here, hehe. As soon as I open my mouth, people know I "ain't from 'round these parts". Oy, shoot me, LOL.

But yeah, there's more Mexicans here than anyone else, so I'm a minority that way too. No biggie. =)

Hallänning and satisfied. Hallänning: From south-western Sweden, south of Gothenburg, (ye all know where Gothenburg is, aight? *blink, blink*) almost danish and can't pronounce the letter R.

Sure, let us belong to Denmark, then we will get lower taxes on alcohol now! (And we won't have to pay a lot of fucking money to that underdeveloped northern half of the country.) Btw Erik, if Norrland is so great, why is everybody moving away from there?
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Halland is nice, however I guess most people just associate it with with that smell of manure you often feel while driving through the province on the motorway. :cool:

As far as the George W. Bush thing, some of the radio stations here boycotted the Dixie Chicks after their "We're ashamed we're from Texas" remarks (can't remember the exact quote). Believe me I was rolling my eyes when I heard about that. I don't know if that happened elsewhere but some people around here took that very seriously :rolleyes: And if you DARE say anything anti-Bush around some people I know then it's like you are insulting THEM or something :rolleyes: Sorry about all the eyerolling it's just one of those negative aspects of living in a small conservative town. Of course not all Texans are like that. :)

Well seriously I hope you'll like it here :cool:

I like the Dixie Chicks cuz they're against the grain. Most people in the country music world like Toby Keith had some issues with the Chicks and so war-of-words began over the Bush and the Iraqi war thing. The music business and politics are funny. Hyuk hyuk hyuk.

I just like to tell people that if I was gonna waste my time worrying about whether a musician's political views are aligned with mine before I can listen to their music, then it's MY loss! Pretty soon I won't have much to listen to any more!
 
Actually, I don't follow bands' politics either. However, this Dixie Chicks stunt which, caused a lot of anger with the conservative country music lovin' community, is pretty brave to speak out and create enemies.

Yeah, maybe! :lol: And "Sveriges badbalja", (how to translate that?) Tylösand, etc. Luckily, I live in the inland of Halland = No smell of manure, no motorway, no fun. :ill:

the mythological-creatures minority greets you from the dark cave (and goes back in it).
