Let's do Ole Miss
We'll figure out Bama later, probably some short and loud Irish in there, but Ole Miss pretty much exclusively came from Bama frat boys knocking up Ole Miss girls, or knocking up whoever became Ole Miss girls later.
Floppy hair, et al, Ole Miss is simply Alabama Junior.
Now this Ole Miss part could get ugly with the Rebel flag and Nathan Bedford Forrest and all, so let's mind our P's and Q's on the Ole Miss discussion.
I'm not saying what I'm thinking (That's a for instance)

This is why I love florida, and why it's better than arkansas, mississippi, alabama, louisiana, kentucky, tennessee, etc etc
We have real diversity in our state.

UFfan1950, if you want to be a history revisionist, I'm assuming Tiger Droppings is open minded enough to let you go forward with that Noam Chomsky type stuff.
So if the mods are okay with it, you have my blessing as well.

I went to Nashville once and am under the impression it was heavily colonized by Phillipenos and Koreans.

Lots of bleed over of Native American blood in western Arkansas, too, just because there are so many in Oklahoma. Lots of African Americans east and SE of Little Rock.
Same situation in East TN considering it's the same tribe. Although, it's more common in the older generations then it is today. My papaws mom dukes was 50% Cherokee and of her 4 kids, 2 look like her(High cheek bones and that Redish Native American skin with jet black hair) and 2 look like their dad(Scotch-Irish). But, outside of some of the Mountain communities it isn't as prevalent as it was even 50 years ago. For the most part you're either white or black in East TN. Very little asian or hispanic populations to go with it.

Mootsman - "I went to Nashville once and am under the impression it was heavily colonized by Phillipenos and Koreans."
They weren't settlers Moot. They came later. But thanks for the passionate post.
My great aunt was Korean by the way, so I'm saving that little tidbit for later in case someone says I'm a racist.

Kentucky was a county of Virginia when the east coast was being settled so there are a great many of us descended from the British Isles.
I had my DNA analyzed and discovered I'm 95% Irish and 5% Norwegian. My family's American lineage dates back to 1741 so a person of Norwegian descent worked his or her way in there at some point.

The South Carolina Lowcountry was/is primarily Anglo-Saxon with a strong French Huguenot influence as well as Scots-Irish. Charleston was a huge port so it was a bit of a melting pot. The Upstate was greatly influenced by the Scots-Irish due to the Great Wagon Road.

agreed, I always see white people doing landscaping work in Knoxville. That's almost impossible to witness in other parts of the country.

But at what point did the the alien abduction/dna/genetic experimentation start with the various geographic areas?

Mississippi is mostly Scot-Irish, and Italian mixed with Choctaw.

Most of the old money names and plantation owners along the SC coast came from England by way of abandoning their plantations in Barbados in the early to mid 1700s.
The Barbados accent is actually very similar to the geechee/gullah accent that is so prominent here along the sea islands.
Charleston's historical link to the Caribbean island of Barbados is fascinating.

Up until the last 35 years Nashville was pretty much the same as rural Middle and West Tennessee which would be English and Welch. Nowadays it is anything but. Like Atlanta there are a lot of Yankees and a ton of the international persuasion.

East TN is very Scotch-Irish for the most part.
Decent amount of Germans behind that
Scots and Irish plus Scots-Irish (picky but there's a difference). We also had a lot of French very early on. German influence is more westward but still prominent in the East. Tons of Native American heritage - black heritage (though not nearly as large as in the deep south). And even some forgotten groups - Jews from around the globe, believe it or not people from India (very early on) and several others that have been here from the start.
Most of our groups got absorbed into the large Scots-Irish banner via marriage. We were rural and had no time for worrying over where our mates were from or the grudges and social restrictions other places had.
