I don't think that pointing out my observation is making it deeper than it is. You seem to agree with the judges, while I do not. I acknowledge cultural traits as just that--cultural, neither negative nor positive. I observe that dominant cultures are seen as better than marginal ones, inciting praise or scolding. I don't think twang or using the phrase "hook you up" are bad or wrong. Nor do I believe that the cultures they come from are not marketable, because they are consumed like wildfire every day by a vast White majority.
