in which you get to hear me scream about Broadway musicals-mainly Newsies.
added note:
also please ignore the absolute disaster of the first several parts. i was young and very cringy.
so for the 100th part of my spam book, I wanted to do something special
and apparently special in my mind is talking about stereotypes of people like me and facts about my home-state
SO LET'S GET STARTED WITH STEREOTYPES
•
Everyone in Alabama loves football.
This is actually pretty true. About 98% of people who live in Alabama are big football fans. Most are either Alabama or Auburn fans, with a small minority that support other teams.
However, people in Alabama don't enjoy only football. Basketball, baseball, and softball are other popular sports here. In North Alabama, hockey is a major source of entertainment.
•
Everyone in Alabama are rednecks.
This isn't true whatsoever. Yes, there are rednecks in Alabama and that is without a doubt. But I live in a small town, and there are only a handful of people in my town alone who hunt on the daily, fish on weekends, and sport the Confederate flag wherever they go. That leads me to the next stereotype:
•
Everyone in Alabama are racists.
Heck no we are not. Yeah, there's always a group of racists in every portion of the world, but it's not just Alabama. Honestly, I feel northern states are more racist than southern states. I'm not saying that to clarify that Alabama is 'better than others' (because every state has their flaws), but Alabama is actually a pretty racially diverse state.
Wherever you go in Alabama, you will see many different races. In my small town alone, half of the population are non-white ethnicities. That brings everyone closer together, and creates new bonds between people.
•
Everyone in Alabama loves country music.
Oh god no
About half of the Alabama population are nowhere close to being fans of country music.
But I guarantee we all get hype to 'Sweet Home Alabama'
•
Everyone in Alabama dates their cousins.
Ha
Haha
No
(unless your austin miles @summer)
•
Alabama has no natural scenery.
OH BOY
Let me tell you this:
North Alabama has the mountains, caves, and the Tennessee river. Have you even seen Huntsville in the fall? Honey, look:
