[Augustine23628]

I worked for a time in an almost exclusively African-American environment, and I heard this (people and things being referred to as ‘country’). I think it may be some kind of dichotomy between urban and rural tastes among blacks, and a stigma about the latter. There is something of the same among whites, of course, but it is not a big topic of conversation, let alone a point of discrimination. My own tastes run toward this kind of food, but I view it as part of a healthier lifestyle – I grow some of my own food, bake cornbread, cook seasoned (low-fat) greens, etc. but this is more a desire to return to a simpler way of life than anything else. So if that is ‘country,’ count me in. (And if anyone wouldn’t hire or promote me for a reason like this, I can’t imagine I’d be happy working for them, anyway.)
