this is who he is. he speaks out of turn. he does not speak honestly. he does not tell stories that connect him to culture, only stories that divorce him of it. he does not self deprecate. why doesn't he do any of this? because he is not of us. he doesn't act like us. he acts like hurtful hollywood stereotypes of who we are is who we are. his understanding of what appalachia is comes less from Union Maid, Solidarity Forever, The Pines, bell hooks, and Nikki Giovanni and more from beverly hillbillies and the andy griffith show (and he doesn't understand that the andy griffith show came from another era and acts as a snapshot of how we were perceived at one time, it's a packaging of our suffering for some petty cash, not a fucking documentary)
