I live there, in addition to the metric ton of people that have now moved to NC. What did you want to know?

>>213582281
We don’t sound like this

>>213583006
Why did so many people move to NC? What's so interesting there?

>>213583020
Jobs, especially in the research triangle park in Raleigh. Not really the case anymore though. Also, very mild weather and it’s a costal state

>>213582235 (OP)
at least it's not it's brother

I live in Charlotte.

Its a banking city.
>>213582281
Vast majority of people here do not have a southern accent.

>>213582281
The NC accent sounds like Foghorn Leghorn--"Sah, I say, sah."

>>213583020
A lot of people move to Charlotte for work.

Consequently, Charlotte feels very young. I walk around and almost everyone I see is under the age of 35.

I work with a Pole at work. He's lived in Poland (obviously hurrr), Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, America (North Carolina) and Britain.

He says North Carolina is the biggest shit hole he has ever seen

>He says North Carolina is the biggest shit hole he has ever seen
It's poor, summers are miserably hot, shiftless Negros and white hicks everywhere, everything named after Confederate generals, Baptist churches on every block etc.

The two main metros are Charlotte and the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham).

Triangle: Has 3 major universities, one in Raleigh, one in Durham, one in Chapel Hill. Its main employment center is an office park located between those 3 cities and has a lot of tech jobs. But the Triangle doesn't have a real city center, and Raleigh's downtown is pretty disappointing. Stereotypical resident: 31 year old immigrant from India who lives in Cary and works a tech job in the Research Triangle Office Park.
Charlotte: Finance/corporate city. Feels very sterile, bunch of apartments and towers built in the past 15 years, but it has much more of a city vibe than the Triangle. People from around the country live there, very few people you'll meet are actually from the city. Stereotypical resident: 26 year old former frat bro turned finance bro from some SEC, ACC, Big Ten university who is an alcoholic.

There's also Asheville, which is touristy and a 'hipster' vibe but it got kind of yeeted by a hurricane. Wilmington has a bunch of boomers who moved near the beach. The rest of the cities are kind of decaying.

>>213583305
The further south you go, the worst it gets. North Carolina is tame compared to Georgia and Alabama.

>>213583380
That's definitely not the vibe of Charlotte or Raleigh.

>>213583403
Jim Crow was never quite so entrenched there nor did the Democrat Party totally control state politics, there was always some Republican presence in the state.

hahahahaha, I made you all think about buck breaking! And if you're southern then that's probably some sort of forbidden pleasure for you, too!

That's North Carolina. (^:

At least it's not Georgia

My brother and his husband live near Raleigh

I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times are not forgotten;
Look away! Look away! Look away! In Dixie
In Dixie Land where I was born,
Early on one frosty morn,
Look away! Look away! Look away! In Dixie

Then I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! hooray!
In Dixie Land I’ll take my stand to live and die in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.

>>213583800
doesn't he say 'look away, oh, Dixie land'?

>>213583542
give 'em a generation or so to assimilate and their kids start driving lifted trucks with Confederate flag stickers on the back
